Making the Case for Accessibility

Common excuses:

  • “The legal precedent is fuzzy at best.”
  • “This affects such a small number of our users. Let’s focus on our core demographic.”
  • “It’s just too expensive.” “We’ve got to get this product out there: We’ll work on accessibility in our second release.”
  • “We’re already months (or years) along with a product that was designed and built without accessibility in mind. Now what?”
