To implement #accessibility in your organization you have to address all 3 perspectives:
People
Product
Process
The only approach which gives you a chance to maintain accessibility long term.

Nicely summarized and in sync with our gut feeling (grok feeling?)

Looks like Grok overestimated our rates a little bit.. Or it is time to increase prices ;)
Do you agree with the numbers provided below? nitter.gq/i/grok/share/kRdH7hepx…

Hi @LaFrenchTechKRK, you might find it interesting :)
Happy to discuss more #accessibility topics during #FTPL2025 next week, we have already registered, see you in Krakow!
For nearly 20 years, France has been a pioneer in digital accessibility.
The Law No. 2005 102, passed almost 20 years ago, was the first to introduce accessibility requirements for digital services provided by the public sector.

Digital accessibility implementation is what you need to start deliver inclusive applications, permanently.
Point solutions like audit, training for one group will not work long term.
Only strategic, process oriented approach can transform your SDLC for the more accessible.

"The most common misconceptions that I hear often are that accessibility is extra effort, extra time and extra money to do. It’s usually the opposite."
Exacty, a11y means simplicity!
It's often a removal of not needed stuff, not adding new features.

Italy, France, Spain, Germany... great overview!
Being not accessible becomes expensive...
Let us know if you are trying to understand the #EAA implementation status in Poland - not an easy task! :)
The clock is ticking toward the June '25 enforcement deadline for the #EAA. What’s the real risk if a business fails to comply?
Orgs that neglect to meet the EAA’s requirements can face steep fines and restrictions on their ability to operate in the EU market.

#ecommerce companies are really fast introducing new features and fixing bugs, including #accessibility ones. DevOps works pretty well for them.
But a huge amount of constantly changing content is a big challenge. That's where ##a11y #monitoring processes and tools are needed.

That's the only right approach to accessibility.
Making the world more inclusive is just common sense, nothing else.
Accessibility is simply part of quality.
Doing a lot of testing for the EAA at my new job, many sites do good, but then sometimes you find those that are not even close.
I'm not mad or angry; I'm just happy that I can find them and help them to be better at accessibility.
Help in every way you can, every time.

"any effort to promote DEI “violates civil rights laws” is the President’s political belief. However, equal opportunity and remedying discrimination are enshrined in federal civil rights laws and the U.S. Constitution. These Executive Orders do not change that "
You have probably heard a lot recently about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEI/DEIA).
AAPD put together a new resource to explain what DEIA is, why it is essential for disabled Americans, and recent federal actions on DEIA.

"If you spend time on nailing the basics, you’re ahead of 80 percent of the designers out there."
Exactly, Pareto's rule works in accessibility too!

Implementation of accessibility framework in big org takes in average 2 years...
There is no way to be ready for #EAA if you just started.
But it is still feasible to prepare a solid strategy and plan, which you need anyway... if you think about #accessibility seriously.

Starting evangelize about digital #accessibility few years ago, we thought, that the most interested IT people will be these in roles of testers (QA/QE).
It turned to be a partially true.
There is one group more interested in the topic: #UX designers.
Why is that? Any thoughts?

Public funds theoretically assigned for accessibility, but practically spent on useless grants, conferences and pointless discussions are nothing else than waste. This is called #AccessWashing. If @elonmusk and @DOGE stop it, everyone will benefit from their efforts.
