Beyond Compliance: Building a Truly User-Centric Product

Navigating the intricacies of accessibility guidelines like WCAG can be overwhelming, especially without the right expertise.

- Conducting thorough accessibility audits of your existing product.
- Incorporating accessibility best practices into the design and development process from
the start. - Using assistive technologies like screen readers and keyboard navigation to test your
product. - Gathering feedback from real users with disabilities to identify any potential
barriers.
