How this workflow works

Audit

HotjarHotjar — Automated + manual scan

An automated scan catches the easy contrast and alt-text misses first, then a manual keyboard-only pass finds what the scanner can't.

Prioritize

LinearLinear — Severity triage

Every finding gets a severity rating — blocks a screen reader entirely vs a minor contrast nit — so fixes land in the order that matters most.

Fix

FigmaFigma+StorybookStorybook — Fix components

Fixes land at the component level, not the page level, so one repaired button fixes every screen that uses it.

Verify

StorybookStorybook — Screen-reader pass

Every fixed component gets tested with an actual screen reader, not just eyeballed — reading order and focus state have to work, not just look right.

Sustain

ZeroheightZeroheight — A11y guidelines

The rules that keep the fix from regressing — contrast minimums, focus order, alt-text conventions — documented next to the components they govern.
