Web developers recognize the importance of accessibility, yet often struggle to prioritize it amid pressing deadlines and multiple concerns. Instead of moral arguments, which tend to be ineffective, the author suggests focusing on the personal benefits of creating accessible user interfaces. The article elaborates on debugging challenges with poorly structured UIs, advocating that accessible design can lead to easier maintenance and troubleshooting, ultimately benefiting developers and the user experience alike.
When push comes to shove, it can be hard to prioritize accessibility above a bazillion other concerns when you're trying to center a <div> and you're on a tight deadline.
I personally find these arguments persuasive. But experience has also taught me that 'eat your vegetables' is one of the least effective arguments in the world.
No finger-wagging here: just good old hardheaded self-interest!
Debugging a web app is hard when the entire UI is 'div soup' and lacks clear structure and accessibility.
