Successfully Integrating Accessibility in your Organization’s Web Development Lifecycle

Web accessibility standards introduce inclusion concerns for people with disabilities that disrupt traditional patterns within organizations attempting to incorporate them into their web development lifecycle. These standards challenge development practices that are more often than not considered to be tried and true. Introducing these new guidelines to a web development team leads to changes in practices that may jeopardize a project's profitability. While accessibility principles are not difficult to implement, the amount of details to consider while doing so is significant and therefore, the risks of falling into certain pitfalls abound.
