Accessibility needs to be more than just going over a compliance checklist.

WCAG audits can be useful, but if all you’re going to do is sporadically order someone to make a list of pass/fail next to numbers, chances are you’re not gonna see much meaningful change.

For that you need to understand:

– What effect the (in)accessible solution has on the experience of disabled users
– How disabled people use the web
– How AT / a11y options work
– Techniques and tools you can use in your work
etc
