    CEOs at a variety of online meeting platforms will say over and over, “we’re studying WCAG [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines] requirements” or “our developers are going to re-write our front-end code when we have time,” but the reality is that these operations, like many others on the Web, have not taken the trouble to code their sites for accessibility at the start, which is the least costly and fairest approach, not to mention the one compliant with the ADA.
     
    Here's how Sight Tech Global made its online conference as accessible as possible, using tools from companies that had NOT made a commitment to accessibiity, tools many of you are using as well: article from TechCrunch.
