Today, I was invited to attend a GAAD event, where a blind user explained what the most annoying things are, when it comes to inaccessibility:
- lack of alt text
- lack of proper a heading structures
- lists not properly tagged as lists
- forms that don't bind label to elements
- charts that are not described.

The sad part: we are in 2025, and those are, technically, quite easy to fix. Basic HTML, and a bit of good will / training, for people to write the alternatives.

Myth: Accessibility is too complicated Pushback: “It’s just too complex. There are too many rules. We don’t have the expertise.” Reframe: “It’s not about doing everything at once. Focus on progress, not perfection. Start small with semantic HTML.”
