Accessibility is a huge topic, and it can be hard to know where to start. And it's even more difficult if you don't know a lot about accessibility, and/or your boss or organization isn't willing to prioritize and dedicate time to exploring and implementing accessibility properly.

What if I told you there are many, many fixes and small changes you can make in five minutes or less that will greatly improve the accessibility of your website or application? You're in luck and there are many such updates that can be made quickly, easily, and without having to justify how you spend your task time.

I’ve been interested in accessibility for years, but for many years at my organization it was not considered a priority, if it was considered at all. Because accessibility is so important to me, I figured out little changes I could make during the normal course of my work, like adding in alt text where it was missing or properly associating form labels with their controls.

In this way I slowly improved the accessibility of our products without making it a major issue, and because I did keep bringing it up and sharing these little fixes with my team mates, accessibility eventually became a priority and one of the pillars of our Product team at Neovation.

I'd like to share my knowledge and experience to help other developers, designers, product managers etc start their own accessibility journey.
