Accessibility and Inclusive Design at Scale Questions

Covers designing and owning accessibility as a first class concern across applications and design systems as they grow. Topics include semantic markup, proper use of accessibility roles and ARIA for complex interactions, keyboard navigation and focus management, screen reader compatibility, alt text and meaningful content semantics, color contrast and visual accessibility, localization and right to left support, theming and dark mode impacts, performance implications of accessibility features, and how to bake compliance to WCAG and accessibility testing into architecture and release processes. Also includes governance and culture topics such as creating component level accessibility guidelines, accessibility automation and testing strategies, advocacy and cross team processes to keep accessibility maintained at scale, and considerations for maintaining accessibility across devices, form factors, and varying browser support and graceful degradation.
