See it fix it

You'll never get a breather to fix your inaccessible website so take the see-it-fix-it approach.

KPI: Page titles

Tracking the quality of your page titles ensures better navigation, understanding and accessibility across your site.

We have the freedom to create and innovate, but we need to remember that this should include everyone.

If only

What's something that if you knew and understood, it would turn the tables and empower you to ship an accessible website?

Improving accessibility takes effort. It's not easy and you won't get it done in one sprint. It carries risk.

Link text quality measures how descriptive and meaningful the text of your hyperlinks is.

Useful in hindsight

Accessibility audits are useful in hindsight. They can point you to problems you've created, but they won't help you prevent new ones.

Perfect

You can't have a perfectly accessible website, and maybe nor should you want it.

Tracking readability as a metric helps ensure that your content is clear, accessible and easy to understand for all users.

Who's to blame

You're never blameless in web accessibility. Your job is to create products that work for all users.

Hard and easy

Hard decisions, easy life. Easy decisions, hard life.

In accessibility, patience is more than a nice to have. It's a requirement if we want to change hearts and minds.

One day

One day or day one? Just start with accessibility.

Inclusive Impact Jam is the workshop I create and facilitate for a product team to help them understand accessibility.

Yadda Yadda

Using common language and tapping into emotions is a more effective way we can get people to care about accessibility.

Just talk

I love all the talk about web accessibility, but it seems that not a whole lot of others listen.

One kind word can change someone's entire day and, in accessibility, this can be particularly powerful.

Accessibility is the technical debt that your team did not realize they had until they learned about accessibility.
