Accessibility matters. Let’s do something about it
summary
A six‑person group spends two days documenting role‑specific best practices, outputs an open‑source checklist and a checklist‑builder at accessibility.voxmedia.com, and integrates accessibility items into project requirements and integrated into QA so teams test early. The checklist gets external contributions. The approach changes the Verge redesign process (launched with accessible color choices and form patterns) and proves practical: small focused work yields measurable process change rather than vague promises.
