Content Creators Want Automatic Accessibility Checks

|
-

Summary

Most accessibility programs focus on after-the-fact testing, remediation, and training.

Most content authors focus on creating good content and going home on time.

The friction between these goals and methods makes the whole topic of content accessibility seem like a complicated, inscrutable mandate that piles on more work to already difficult jobs.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

The success of as-you-edit checkers like Editoria11y and Sa11y comes from treating accessibility issues like typos rather than work tickets. They prevent most common errors while still getting content authors home on time.
