Accessible products reach more users, reduce legal risk, and often improve SEO and usability for everyone. WCAG provides a practical baseline for inclusive design.

Accessibility should be embedded from discovery through QA—not patched before launch.

Core WCAG Areas to Audit

Focus on perceivable content, keyboard navigability, sufficient color contrast, semantic HTML, and screen reader-friendly forms.
