Accessibility by everyone (and for everyone)
summary
Accessibility work yields concrete gains: WCAG 2.2 is the target, automated checks run in CI (example GitHub Actions) plus manual screen‑reader and keyboard testing catch gaps; WebAIM finds 49,991,225 accessibility issues across 1M homepages and 96% fail guidelines, with over 60% being color contrast problems — many are tiny fixes in component libraries. Key numbers: 1.2 billion people affected, potential €2.3M extra revenue per year for a 1M‑visit site. Practical fixes: semantic HTML, 16px base font, captions, alt text, avoid overlays.
