Simplifying Accessibility with Cloud Technology
summary
Demonstrates integrating Pa11y CLI into CI/CD by running it against a live URL and a sitemap, using a GitLab CI YAML that builds, deploys and tests staging reviews. The scanner repeatedly finds concrete failures — e.g. empty h1 and insufficient contrast — and reports file locations and WCAG links so issues become tickets. Notes that scanners miss human problems like contextual copy and keyboard flow, so manual checks remain necessary.
