Here’s the truth:
You can meet the letter of the law and still fail your users.
You can pass every automated checker, write a perfect accessibility statement, and still build something that confuses, frustrates, or excludes people.
Because accessibility isn’t a checkbox.
It’s a commitment.
Yes, you should follow WCAG.
Yes, you should test and iterate.
Yes, you should understand your legal responsibilities.
But more than anything?
You should care.
Care that people can use what you build.
Care that no one has to fight just to access basic information.
Care enough to keep improving, even when you’re technically compliant.
Accessibility isn’t a finish line. It’s part of your definition of done.
Because when we talk about accessibility laws, we’re really talking about the bare minimum society says people deserve.
You can do better than that.
Build for trust. Build for possibility. Build for people who shouldn’t have to crawl – online or off – just to participate.
