I don’t think I’ve met anyone who owns their own business who is truly satisfied with how much they’re selling. For Tenon, sales means new features, so when I’m looking at a backlog of awesome ideas I’m also calculating the time & money it would take to develop those ideas. More sales means more money …
I’m really terrible about responding to emails. I get (and send) a lot of email and lots of it just sits and sits for embarrassingly long times. After CSUN I got a great email with some questions from Vincent François about some of the things I said during my CSUN 2016 presentation “Extreme Accessibility” Vincent …
If you’re already aware of Betteridge’s Law, then you know the answer already. There are some that would argue that you need to use multiple tools because automated accessibility tools can’t find everything and because each tool takes its own approach to testing – including what they specifically test for. This sounds spot on, but …
A couple of weeks ago now, an article was posted on LinkedIn that implied WCAG was “Impossible”. Numerous others, including myself, levied sharply negative responses to the article, but not to this specific claim about WCAG being “impossible”. I’d like to help my readers understand WCAG a little bit better. Generalized statements are particularly false …
If you started it during the reign of Thutmose I of Egypt, you’d be done soon. Or you could invest several million dollars. Or maybe doing it is just a stupid idea in the first place On July 6, 2016, Michelle Hay of the company Sitemorse published an “article” (a term I’m using loosely here) …

The overall feeling of camaraderie at CSUN leaves you feeling like you have an army standing behind you as …
No, Accessibility doesn’t lead to better SEO. More importantly, this isn’t a good business case argument. It is time to put this one to rest. In order to formulate a good business case argument, you must be able to prove that Taking action ‘X’ will have ‘Y’ consequences and in this case the argument is …
Wise people (namely, Jennifer Groves) often say that you shouldn’t discuss politics or religion in a professional environment. Since most of the stuff I post about on this blog is work-related, I suppose this post is a little unwise. Those who know me on Facebook know that I post a fair amount of political stuff …
Rather than re-write my post What happens when you get sued for your inaccessible website, I wanted to revisit the topic entirely. A few years ago, I wrote a series of blog posts about the “Accessibility Business Case” Ultimately, I determined that reduction of legal risk was the most powerful business case argument. Recent events …
I originally posted this on LinkedIn. It turns out that LinkedIn is a poor place for me to reach my audience, as my average post gets 10x as many views as this post first got on LinkedIn. There have long been discussions on the accessibility industry surrounding the business case for accessibility. The Education and …
