Every day that passes without implementing accessibility is a day where you're shutting out potential users from engaging with your content.

  • Missing alternative text for images
  • Poor colour contrast
  • Non-descriptive link text (like "click here")
  • Missing form labels
  • Form error messages not linked to fields
  • No keyboard navigation support
  • Missing heading structure
  • No skip navigation links
  • Non-responsive design that doesn't work well on mobile devices
  • Use of tables for layout instead of data presentation
  • No captions or transcripts for audio/video content
  • Small font sizes that makes text hard to read
  • No focus indicators for interactive elements
  • Reliance on colour alone to convey information

When you continually postpone addressing these issues, you're excluding millions of users. You're gathering technical debt, exposing yourself to legal risks and hurting your brand image.

Yesterday you said you'll fix some of these tomorrow.

Tomorrow is here.

It's already today.
