Accessibility Built In, Not Tacked On

Accessibility that fails a procurement audit is expensive to fix. This workshop helps your team build it into delivery from the start — so it passes enterprise review without becoming a last-minute crisis.

Format: Half-day · in-person or remote. Audience: Product, design, engineering, and QA teams in regulated or enterprise environments.

Duration: Half-day (4 hours). Group size: Up to 20 participants. Delivery: In-person or remote. Languages: English.

What you will learn

  • A WCAG 2.1 AA checklist mapped to your design system
  • Documentation patterns that pass procurement and audit
  • A rollout plan to retrofit existing flows without big rewrites
  • A WCAG 2.1 AA checklist mapped to your specific design system components.
  • Documentation patterns that satisfy enterprise procurement and third-party audit requirements.
  • A component-level accessibility annotation standard your designers will actually use.
  • A rollout plan to retrofit existing flows without requiring a full rewrite.
  • Confidence in automated and manual testing approaches that catch issues before they ship.
  • A shared accessibility vocabulary across design, engineering, and QA.

Why this matters now

  • Enterprise procurement teams now require WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as standard. Legal and regulatory expectations are rising in every market. And most product teams are trying to retrofit accessibility to a codebase that was never designed with it in mind — which is slow, expensive, and rarely complete.
  • The teams that handle accessibility well don't treat it as an audit item. They treat it as a property of their design system — baked into the token layer, the component standards, and the annotation process, so it is part of delivery rather than bolted on at the end.
  • This half-day gives your team the framework, the patterns, and a rollout plan to make that shift — from accessibility audit panic to accessibility by default.
