Fix It Before It Exists: Accessibility Through Style Guides

This talk explores how a well-crafted style guide can act as an accessibility guardrail, shaping content before it ever reaches a user. We’ll look at why small content decisions so often cause accessibility problems, what makes guidance genuinely usable, and five decisions worth documenting. You’ll also learn how to support contributors and keep your guide useful over time, leaving with practical steps to make accessibility a built-in habit.
