Totally agree with most of your points and important to do it manually as you. BUT, and it is I think a major but that I often see glossed over on many accessibility videos. That "but" is the practical reality of volume. In my case, we have a massive Sharepoint deployment with more than 5,500 pages. Trying to test that many pages would be a Herculean effort at best - and most organizations are lucky to have even one Accessibility staff member with any technical experience at all. Web Accessibility is important - but often stymied by a lot of factors that rarely get noted. Enjoyed your video!
Agreed sometimes it can seem like a massive effort. Let me ask, are all of those Sharepoint pages totally unique, or are they using templates? For massive websites it can be a good start to identify the pages that share common elements - for example if there is a newsletter sign up component it is (hopefully) the same code across all pages and you can test and update it once. In terms of content, which is different throughout, it comes down to good authoring practices, like coaching the content authors on always using alt text, using headers logically, etc. In terms of prioritization, start with the most high trafficked pages to maximize your efforts. Manual testing can be supplemented by automatic testing, and there are some reputable companies out there that can help with that. I know it's daunting! Glad you liked the video.
Really nice overview. Working on trying to get other devs to buy into this at my current job. - oh, the input checkboxes, pretty sure default key action is on the space key press
This is quite educative as from the perspective of a content designer. I am a visually impaired lady and i would like to share the video via my UA-cam hope this is fine
Thank you so much for this -- so helpful. Can you tell me what the overlay tool you used to display the keys/text on screen you were accessing via your keyboard?
If you are on a PC, try www.nvaccess.org/download/ If you are on a Mac, you already have VoiceOver built in! Use Cmd + F5 to start it. dequeuniversity.com/screenreaders/voiceover-keyboard-shortcuts

This is an excellent overview, even for us non-developers who get this sort of review dropped in our laps with a quick turnaround.
You have literally cleared my confusion about checking web accessibility manually. Thank you so much!

This is great input. Thanks a ton!
Do most people know to use the space bar to check or uncheck checkboxes?
This video is so awesome, thanks! Amazing!
Thanks so much for this video!
As a web designer, I'm frustrated that I was never educated on this in my classes.
Thankyou so much...!!!!😊😊😊
Great informative video, thanks!
I'm developing and maintaining websites, and I'm finding it harder than it needs to be to get my hands on a commonly use screen reader

Are you using some tool or program to show the spoken text on screen? For example at 8:20
That is VoiceOver, the screen reader built into Macs
The only thing i cannot figure out is the third eye part. Need assistance pls. Thx
