Consistency is king

You're unlikely to fix an inaccessible product in a sprint. It's better to be consistent.

It doesn't matter if you implement accessibility in your product or don't care about it at all. It'll will still cost you.

What is knowledge sharing in web accessibility and what are the warning signs?

Product teams are made up of people with two mindsets. One wants to avoid accessibility problems and one wants to solve them.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are mind-numbingly boring, but crucial if you want to help everyone access your content.

The hardest part in web accessibility isn't knowing what to do. It's doing it every day, even when you don't feel like it.

Do better

Without a follow through, there's no point in calling yourself inclusive while excluding disabled customers.

Change happens slowly, two steps forward, one step back. But accessibility has come a long way since just a few years ago.

More time

You don't need more time. You need more focus. Work will just expand to fill up your time.

KPI: Cultural safety

Cultural safety is about creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to speak up without fear of retribution or marginalisation.

Who gets to decide

Who gets to decide if your website is accessible? It's not you. It's the people using it.

The circle

Every decision you've made so far in terms of planning, design, code, user research and deployment includes some people and excludes others.

You don't have to know everything in web accessibility. Instead adopt a let's figure this out mentality.

Act as if

Food safety isn't about passing inspections. And accessibility isn't about passing audits.

Simple and easy

We want accessibility to be easy and that's what makes it complicated.

I send out short emails like these every day to help you gain a fresh perspective on accessibility and understand it without the jargon, so you can build more robust products that everyone can use, including people with disabilities.

You can unsubscribe in one click and I will never share your email address.
