just stumbled onto some wild data from webaim. they scanned the top one million sites and found errors on 95.9% of home pages. it averages out to about 56 detectable barriers per page, which is actually higher than last year. we need to stop treating
inclusive design like an extra layer of polish you add at the end of a sprint. if you are just using
Figma to make things look pretty w/o checking contrast or screen reader compatibility, you are part of the problem.
most of us are probably contributing to this mess . it is frustrating because accessibility should be baked into our
core workflow from day one.
>accessibility is a fundamental requirement, not an optional feature. we should stop thinking about it as a separate skill set and just start doing it. does anyone have any favorite plugins for catching these issues before handoff?https://uxdesign.cc/you-already-know-how-to-make-it-accessible-b29513a9b217?source=rss----138adf9c44c---4
