Accessibility
summary
Defines web accessibility as usable by everyone, highlights concrete fixes (sufficient color contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader support) and process changes: designers and devs refine tickets together, a dedicated accessibility QA tester validates pages, and teams aim for 4–6 accessibility tickets per sprint. Claims these practices reduce legal risk and increase users/revenue, cites real outcome of achieving WCAG AA (VPAT) for Politico as verification that the approach works.
