All too often, accessibility is something that is tacked on at the end of the design process. At the last minute, we pull out the WCAG checklist and struggle to make changes to our sites to meet a certain level of conformance. It doesn’t have to be this way. If we design with inclusivity as a goal from the beginning of the process, we can create beautiful websites which work for everyone.
