Accessibility by Everyone (and for Everyone)
summary
The web fails billions: a WebAIM audit of 1,000,000 homepages finds 50,960,288 issues (≈51 per homepage) and 94.8% of sites non‑conformant; 96% fixable in an hour. WCAG (WIKAG) 2.2 is the target, with AA contrast at 4.5:1 and AAA at 7:1. Use semantic HTML, proper alt text, labeled form inputs, keyboard nav, automated checks in CI, and user testing with screen‑reader users to cut abandonment and capture the Forbes‑quoted $13 trillion market.
