Honest question for anyone here who ships websites or apps, because I genuinely do not know the answer:
Has a client, a procurement form, or a lawyer ever asked you to prove your site is accessible?
Not "would you like it to be". Been asked to prove it, in writing, on a deadline.
I ask because I spend my days running automated WCAG passes and writing them up, and I keep meeting two different worlds: sites where nobody has ever asked and nothing is checked, and sites where someone suddenly has to produce evidence and has no idea what to produce. I want to know which one is more common on here.
If you have been asked: what did they want? A VPAT, a statement, a scan, a signed report? And did you buy something, or produce it yourself?
Useful answers either way. I am not pitching in this thread — I would rather find out what actually gets demanded than guess.
