THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY - Part 1: Back to the Future
summary
European law (the European Accessibility Act) is making WCAG compliance mandatory, so the industry focus is moving from WCAG 2.1 to 2.2 while WCAG 3 evolves. The talk explains a practical approach using semantic HTML, CSS, WAI‑ARIA, SEO and UX to meet AA success criteria, and recommends concrete artifacts—Intopia checklists and station-maps, an ARM roles draft, and a Figma card deck—plus using the Wayback Machine to verify long-term site survivability.
