" summary

Claims that the web now has 61 million accessibility errors (WebAIM) and 3,550 new ADA suits in 2020 (up 23%), shows urgency; demos fixable specifics: color-contrast adjustments in DevTools, adding ALT text, SR-only labels for icon buttons, preserving focus styles, skip links, and using native elements like details/summary and the output element so screen readers detect dynamic changes. Recommends automation and tools: axe-core, axe DevTools, Lighthouse/Lighthouse CI, Cypress, and testing with NVDA or VoiceOver rather than vague promises.
