Here are two suggestions for you. Look at the critical issues and at known issues in your backlog.
Authentic conversations so far...
This is an archive of the email messages I sent to my daily mailing list since March 12th, 2024. Enjoy!
One of the privileged ones
Mar 26th, 2024
We take a lot of things for granted. I’m privileged, so are you probably, but not for long.
Why do we still need the alt attribute for images when we have AI? Models have evolved a lot now and they can pick up the image of a dog.
Accessibility will slow us down
Mar 24th, 2024
From the moment you start designing a template to when you jump into coding, you're going up against the clock.
Now not how
Mar 23rd, 2024
If you already have a lot of accessibility issues that you know of, you're already in a hole, so stop digging!
Tangible results and cost centres
Mar 22nd, 2024
If you only invest in something expecting instant results, you might as well fire your marketing department.
Accessibility isn't something that you do
Mar 21st, 2024
You can't simply check a box for kindness or honesty; it's part of who you are. We must think of accessibility in the same way.
You need to hear this
Mar 20th, 2024
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you think accessibility is complex, it's because you, or someone you hired, wants it to be.
Too much baggage
Mar 19th, 2024
The classic blame game doesn't work with accessibility.
How do you strike the balance?
Mar 18th, 2024
Do you choose the path of least resistance or fight through the discomfort and take the path of inclusiveness?
Accepted but forgotten truths
Mar 17th, 2024
It's time to recognise that only consistent effort turns accepted truths into meaningful action.
The best way to get answers to this question is to speak with people with disabilities and learn from them how they tackle these challenge
In the eye of the beholder
Mar 15th, 2024
When it comes to accessibility, all those attractive design gimmicks are memorable, but may lack substance.
Start small and improve consistently
Mar 14th, 2024
Three practical suggestions for where to begin your accessibility journey
You don't have to lead the pack, just find your stride
Mar 13th, 2024
Most organisations aren't either extremely accessibility-conscious or very vocally against it.
Old conversations aren't helping
Mar 12th, 2024
Maybe it's time we change the conversation around accessibility because all the moaning isn't giving us any results.
