Web content remains inaccessible due to poor design, formats, and tooling
Detailed description
Websites routinely ship with unreadable layouts, tiny fonts, intrusive animations, and markup that breaks assistive technologies, screen readers, and even LLM crawlers. The problem cuts across audiences: visually impaired users, readers on older devices, and anyone relying on browser reader mode or audio conversion of digital text. Accessibility expertise is scarce and expensive, meaning most organizations never address these issues systematically. Current tools—WCAG auditors, browser reader modes, and ad-hoc retrofitting—are fragmented and inconsistent across browsers and platforms, leaving users to fend for themselves rather than encountering universally accessible content by default.
