Smashing Magazine Highlights Sustainable Approach to Accessibility Through Culture Change
A recent blog post on Smashing Magazine advocates for building an accessibility culture over chasing compliance checklists. Written by accessibility engineer Dani, the article offers a personal perspective on embedding accessibility into systems, habits, and team workflows.
The piece argues that long-term success in accessibility requires shifting focus from audits and quick fixes to fostering sustainable practices throughout design, development, and product management. Dani emphasizes the value of automation, education, and strategic collaboration, particularly with design system teams.
Key recommendations include early involvement in product decisions, supporting internal champions, and engaging leadership to secure lasting change. The post also warns against burnout and urges practitioners to measure progress through cultural transformation rather than compliance metrics alone.
Drawing on experience from a large organization, the article highlights that consistent small actions, rather than sweeping reforms, are what drive inclusive and scalable accessibility practices over time.
