Vendor and Third-Party Accessibility Field Guide
A practical guide for asking better accessibility questions when a product, platform, widget, or document comes from a vendor.
Vendor Accessibility Still Needs Ownership
Buying or configuring a vendor product does not remove accessibility ownership; it changes where teams need to ask, test, document, and follow up.
Known Issues Are Better Than Surprise Issues
Known accessibility issues are not ideal, but they are easier to manage than issues nobody named until review, launch, or a user complaint.
Accessibility Evidence Should Match the Thing You’re Shipping
Accessibility evidence is stronger when it matches the real workflow, content, configuration, documents, and version people will use after launch.
What Accessibility Review Is Actually Looking For
Accessibility review is not a scavenger hunt for WCAG failures. It is a quality check on whether people can actually use the thing you built.
Start with the Path, Not the Checklist
Accessibility work goes better when teams understand the path early instead of treating WCAG like a last-minute checklist.
