Access-what? why and how. A11Y for all
summary
European Accessibility Act is valid from 28 June and requires new apps to meet accessibility rules, so adoption is urgent; follow WCAG 2.1 AA and start with HTML semantics, ARIA patterns, and a free 16–20 hour W3C course. Use browser extensions for mid‑interaction checks (IARC/axe) and integrate Axe Core (~57% coverage) into tests, run manual screen‑reader flows timed to complete flow in under 5 minutes, and track a four‑year rollout outcome.
