The web is inherently accessible
summary
Argument: the web is accessible by default and it's design choices that break it; using native HTML elements (button, a, th, caption, fieldset/legend, img alt) plus minimal ARIA (role, aria-label, aria-hidden, aria-expanded, aria-pressed, aria-required) fixes most problems. Stats: about 1 in 4 people have a disability and almost every homepage audited has ARIA mistakes. Demo: accessibleweb.net (disable JS) proves screen readers can access content even when visual design blocks it. use native elements provide text equivalents
