After activation the Dashboard shows an Accessibility checklist. Completing it takes a few minutes:
- Widget enabled – the switch at the top of the dashboard turns the widget on or off for the whole site.
- Accessibility statement linked – link the page where you describe your site’s accessibility (see Link your accessibility statement).
- “Skip to content” link – lets keyboard users jump past the navigation.
- New-tab links announced – screen-reader users hear when a link opens a new tab.
- Run a first scan – check your home page with the scanner.
Then open Design and pick your colours: the live preview on the right shows every change before you save.
