Accessibility

Accessibility often feels expensive because teams find preventable issues after decisions have already spread through requirements, design, components, content, and code. Better first passes are cheaper than repeated remediation.

You do not have to be the accessibility expert in the room to reduce accessibility risk. A lot changes when more people know enough to ask better questions earlier.

Accessibility does not start when the review begins. By then, the product has already made dozens of accessibility decisions. The earlier teams ask better questions, the less accessibility feels like a surprise at the end.
