The accessibility audit that actually shipped
July 18, 2026
How I ran a two-week accessibility audit that landed 90% of the fixes — instead of the usual 5%.
Most a11y audits ship a spreadsheet with 400 rows and get filed under 'do later.' Here is the format that worked.
Format
One PR per issue. Small. Merged in isolation. No 'a11y epic.'
The trick
Pair with a shipping team on their next real feature. Fix the a11y as you go. You'll ship 80% of the audit inside two sprints.
