Accessibility by the numbers: What actually matters (and what just looks good)

Accessibility is often discussed, but not always addressed effectively. This talk focuses on real-world data (from sources like WebAIM and the WebAIM Million) to identify which issues have the most impact on users. We’ll also examine critical gaps in WCAG 2 – especially the lack of prioritization based on context and function – and briefly touch on what WCAG 3 promises to improve. The session offers a practical framework for setting priorities and making informed decisions about what to fix – and what may not be worth the effort.
