15 years of #GAAD and I’m grateful for a community that continues to shape how we think about technology, inclusion, and human connection.

Here’s to the people pushing accessibility forward every day. #GAAD2026 #A11y #Accessibility

It's #GAAD. We audited all our user interfaces against WCAG 2.2 level AA. Newer interfaces performed well. Older ones have significant gaps we're working to close. Making Crossmark more accessible is next, and we're also redesigning our website to make our content more accessible, too.

If you use assistive technologies, work in UX or advocate for accessibility, we want to hear from you.

🌍 Global Accessibility Awareness Day highlights a global issue. But for businesses, accessibility is not just awareness, it is operational and legal exposure.

Failures often happen in:
🎨 Interface design
⚙️ Development implementation
🚀 Production deployment

With Accesstive, issues are found, fixed at code level, and documented for proof. ✅

Because accessibility is not optional messaging. It is regulatory accountability

It's #GAAD. We ran an accessibility audit across all our interfaces. Newer ones performed well. Older ones have gaps. Lena Stoll covers what we found, what's next, and why compliance is only part of the picture. Check out the blog 🔗 https://doi.org/10.64000/5rpvp-d4r39 #GAAD2026 #Accessibility

Design isn’t just about looking good—it’s about being inclusive. 🧠✨

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day, a fantastic reminder for UK businesses to audit their physical branding. When a customer walks into your shop, cafe, or event, can everyone easily read your print?

At Wee Print, our human designers specialize in creating unique, eye-catching artwork that balances beautiful aesthetics with real-world readability.

🌍 Global Accessibility Awareness Day reminds us: accessibility is not a one-time task. It is an ongoing compliance requirement.

Most failures are not intentional. They are missed in design, development, and pre-release checks.

With Accesstive, issues are found, fixed at code level, and documented for proof. ✅

Compliance is not awareness. It is enforcement readiness.
