Let's break some WCAG rules
summary
15–25% of people need accessible sites and 94.8% of websites violate WCAG AA; almost 80% fail contrast. The talk shows concrete fixes: use semantic HTML instead of divs, enforce heading hierarchy, add meaningful alt text missing descriptions, ensure keyboard order and visible focus, meet contrast ratios (AA small text 4.5:1, large 3:1; AAA small 7:1, large 4.5:1), mark page and part languages, provide captions as VTT captions and use real‑time captioning/CART, run scanners like PI and polyci and test with a screen reader.
