Accessibility is part of the brief
Treat accessibility as part of the original specification, not as a remediation effort before review. WCAG 2.2 AA is the realistic target for most publicly funded project websites.
Where teams usually fall short
The same problems come up most often:
- Low-contrast colour palettes
- Missing focus states
- Inaccessible PDFs uploaded as deliverables
- Forms that cannot be completed with a keyboard
