How Public Sector Websites Should Approach Accessibility

Start with services people need most

Benefits, permits, and tax flows deserve the first passes. Publish an accessibility statement with contact paths for accommodation requests.

Ask for accessibility evidence in contracts. Run your own scans on delivered templates. Third-party maps and payment iframes still affect real users.

Train contributors on headings, link text, and PDF alternatives. Accessibility failures often return through routine updates—not malice.

What the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are, how levels A/AA/AAA differ, and how teams use them in real roadmaps.

How React, Vue, and similar stacks change testing—without replacing the need for DOM-level verification.

Screen reader behavior, SEO signals, and repair patterns for images in content and components.

How contrast ratios work, why brand palettes fail in production, and practical ways to fix text on images and UI chrome.
