By the time accessibility reaches developers, the hardest problems are already baked into the design. Colour choices, layout, and content order are design decisions, and they decide who can use the product.
Design for contrast and clarity
Check text contrast in the mockup, not after launch. Do not rely on colour alone to carry meaning, since many users cannot tell red from green.
Plan the reading order
- Lay out content in the order it should be read aloud.
- Give every interactive element a clear, visible state.
- Write link and button text that makes sense out of context.
Include it in design reviews
Make accessibility a normal review question, like spacing or typography. It is far cheaper to fix in a mockup than in production.
