Having an accessibility budget doesn’t mean one organisation will be any better at accessibility than another. As a digital inclusion company, we find that many customers see the cost of an audit as prohibitive, and whilst an audit is a great product and the bread and butter of many a consultant, the key is to inspire staff, show them accessibility doesn’t dampen creativity, and that a few small changes to the way they work can create an accessible, usable website that allows everyone to use it. Training and working with a company to understand their culture is without a doubt the best way to inspire an accessibility policy that works and is adhered to. I would love to see more companies let us look at their style guide when we’re training so we can make suggestions that benefit not just the web team we’re training, but everyone who may create future content for the Web.
