Frequently asked questions
Why should our product be accessible?
At the last Census more than 20% of Australians identified with a disability. Your customers, staff, friends and family are among them. Accessibility is about ensuring everyone can use your digital products with comfort and ease, regardless of their abilities or circumstances.
It's not just a legal obligation—it's an opportunity to create inclusive experiences that resonate with a broader audience and make a positive impact on people's lives.
How accessible does our product need to be?
Buyers expect meaningful progress toward WCAG AA, not perfection. Critical issues must be addressed, and remaining gaps should have a clear plan.
What are the most common issues in products like ours?
Issues vary, but often include:
- Missing or incorrect labels
- Poor keyboard navigation
- Low colour contrast
- Inconsistent focus order
- Non-descriptive error messages
These are usually quick to identify and prioritise.
How long does it take to fix accessibility issues?
Simple issues can be fixed quickly. Complex issues—like redesigning components—take longer. Timelines depend on your product's size, codebase, and release cycle.
This is why designing for inclusion from the outset and throughout your product lifecycle is much more efficient than having to retrofit accessibility features later.
