Practical writing on digital accessibility - for designers, developers, and compliance teams.
This article explains how website owners can prepare for accessibility compliance in 2026 by understanding ADA compliance expectations, using WCAG 2.1 AA as a baseline, considering WCAG 2.2 improvements, and creating a practical roadmap for audits, remediation, documentation, and ongoing accessibility testing.
This article explains why accessibility widgets should not be treated as a complete accessibility solution. It covers what widgets can do, where they fall short, and how they can interfere with screen readers, keyboard navigation, focus order, mobile layouts, forms, and assistive technologies. It also explains why relying on widgets can create a false sense of compliance and why real accessibility must be built directly into the website through WCAG-aligned design, development, testing, and remediation.
A Google Lighthouse Accessibility score of 100 is a useful indicator, but it should not be treated as proof that a website is fully accessible or compliant. Lighthouse can automatically detect common issues such as missing alternative text, poor color contrast, unlabeled controls, and inaccessible names, but many WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2 requirements depend on context and human judgment. Problems involving keyboard focus, screen reader announcements, meaningful alternative text, dynamic content, form errors, and complete user journeys can remain even when automated tests pass. Tools such as Axe DevTools and the WAVE accessibility checker can provide additional insights, but they also cannot replace manual testing. A stronger accessibility compliance process combines automated testing, manual WCAG reviews, assistive technology testing, and evaluation of the tasks users actually need to complete.
This article uses the recent Backrooms movie as a metaphor for the inaccessible web, comparing confusing digital experiences to endless liminal spaces with poor direction, weak contrast, broken navigation, and no clear way out. It explains how accessibility issues affect real users and gives practical ways teams can make websites easier to navigate, understand, and complete.
WCAG 3.0 is evolving, but you can prepare now. This guide explains what’s changing in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, why WCAG 2.2 still matters, and the practical steps teams can take today to future-proof accessibility testing, governance, and reporting.
This article explains WCAG AAA in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and how it differs from AA, with specific notes on WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2. It highlights the kinds of “extra” requirements AAA introduces (like enhanced contrast, stricter timing controls, and stronger help and error prevention), how to assess feasibility, and how teams can use AAA as a targeted strategy instead of an all-or-nothing goal.
This post explains how to make online forms ADA accessible using WCAG-based best practices. It covers form labels, instructions, error handling, keyboard navigation, focus management, autocomplete, and screen reader testing, plus a lightweight checklist and workflow to prevent regressions.
This guide explains how to set digital accessibility KPIs that leadership understands by tying accessibility to readiness, risk, coverage, time-to-fix, and team enablement. It includes KPI examples, baseline and target tips, and lightweight accessibility testing workflows to measure real progress without overwhelming teams.
This guide explains the voluntary product accessibility template, the main VPAT types (WCAG, 508, EU, INT), and what your VPAT accessibility report must include to be credible. Learn why scope, testing methodology, and detailed remarks matter to procurement teams, and how to create a buyer-ready ACR with clear accessibility requirements and standards alignment.
