Making A Strong Case For Accessibility
summary
WebAIM finds 50.8 million+ accessibility errors across one million homepages, a 1.1% drop but 96.8% still fail WCAG checks; common failures are low-contrast text, missing alt text, empty links, unlabeled form inputs and missing document language. Aim for contrast far above 4.5:1 (he suggests 10:1 and moving toward APCA), run automated tests and screenreader audits before every release, hire disabled testers or use Applause/Fable, maintain design systems and documentation, and avoid accessibility overlays (they fix <1% and have produced ~50 lawsuits).
