The Problem

An automated audit revealed 847 WCAG violations across the product suite, creating legal liability and excluding users with disabilities from 40% of product functionality.

The Solution

Systematic remediation using automated testing (axe-core), manual screen reader testing (NVDA, VoiceOver), and the creation of an accessibility checklist integrated into the CI pipeline.

Architecture

GitHub Actions integration with axe-core for automated A11y checks on every PR, with a dedicated Playwright test suite for keyboard navigation and screen reader flows.

Key Challenges

Fixing 847 issues without regressions
Training 40+ engineers on accessibility practices
Integrating A11y into existing CI without slowing it
