WebAIM just dropped their 2026 Million report. Eight consecutive years of evaluating 1 million homepages. The headline hasn't changed: over 95% have detectable WCAG failures. Eight years of industry conferences, training programs, legal mandates, and accessibility frameworks — and the needle barely moves. If your strategy isn't working, change the strategy. 🔗 https://a11yweekly.com/issue/494/ #a11y #Accessibility #WCAG #WebDev #DigitalInclusion

Stop blaming designers for your accessibility failures. Audits get run. Boxes get ticked. Footer statements get published. And nine months after the EU Accessibility Act deadline, most teams have moved on. Accessibility isn't a design handoff problem — it's a software engineering execution problem. The gap between spec and implementation is where disabled users get left behind. 🔗 https://a11yweekly.com/issue/495/ #a11y #Accessibility #WebDev #EAA #WCAG

Adrian Roselli's concept of "adversarial conformance" is something every dev and designer needs to understand. Using font-weight:500 to distinguish links from surrounding text technically avoids a WCAG failure — but it's not actually accessible. Passing a checkpoint is meaningless if real users can't perceive the difference. Stop gaming the guidelines. Make things actually work. https://adrianroselli.com #a11y #Accessibility #WCAG #WebDev #InclusiveDesign

Adobe InDesign 2026 now auto-generates AI alt text for images. Sounds like a win — and it can be, for speed. But the accuracy still requires human judgment. AI-generated alt text for complex infographics, charts, or decorative images regularly misses the mark. Use it as a starting point, not a finish line. https://creative-boost.com/adobe-indesi... #a11y #Accessibility #AI #InclusiveDesign #WCAG
Adobe InDesign’s AI Alt-Text Generator: What Designers Need to Know | Design Domination

The 2026 release of Adobe InDesign includes a new feature, the AI Alt-text generator, which automatically generates Alt-text for images for accessibility. Should designers who create accessible PDFs from InDesign trust it as part of their accessibility work? Or is it more of a risk? If you’re creating accessible documents in InDesign, here’s what you […]
