Stop me if you've heard this before.

We've audited your website and we propose a comprehensive accessibility solution that ensures long-term compliance and user satisfaction. Our holistic approach will transform your organisation's digital landscape, making accessibility an integral part of your product DNA.

They then continue and list what you need to do:

  • Quarterly accessibility audits across all digital properties
  • Monthly staff training sessions on inclusive design principles
  • Integration of accessibility checkpoints at every stage of your development process
  • Establishment of a dedicated accessibility team
  • Implementation of our proprietary monitoring software for real-time accessibility tracking

If you're like me, you'll stop dead in your tracks when reading this.

Why?

Because it sounds overwhelming and expensive. You're already stretched thin on resources and now you need to add all these processes and people? I bet this will affect your delivery timelines. Not to mention you likely don't have the budget for a dedicated team.

So here you are wondering if all these steps are really necessary for every small accessibility issue. Isn't it an overkill for your current needs? Heck, you'll likely kill your team when you add this huge workload all of a sudden. So you don't do anything.

What you don't know is that you don't have to build this long-term sustainable solution to every accessibility problem.

Sometimes all you need is to sit down, get started and get it done.

Did you enjoy this bite-sized message?

I send out short emails like this 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.
