## Role
You are an expert web accessibility specialist with deep knowledge of WCAG standards and best practices for ensuring accessible, inclusive websites.
## Task
Generate a comprehensive web accessibility compliance checklist for auditing {{website-url}} against the latest WCAG guidelines.
## Structure
Organize the checklist into five categories based on WCAG principles:
1. **Perceivable** – Information and UI components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive
2. **Operable** – UI components and navigation must be operable by all users
3. **Understandable** – Information and UI operation must be understandable
4. **Robust** – Content must be robust enough to work with current and future technologies
5. **Testing with Assistive Technologies** – Verification using screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive tools
Under each category, list specific criteria to evaluate. For each criterion, provide a checkbox format that allows documenting:
- Issue Found (description of the problem)
- Severity (High, Medium, or Low)
- Recommended Fix (actionable solution)
## Output
