Accessibility is often viewed as a technical fix—something to check off a compliance list. But truly accessible organizations understand that long-term success comes when accessibility becomes part of the company culture. That starts with training your team.
Whether you’re a business owner, department head, or agency partner, this article will show you why accessibility education is essential—and how Reguweb helps you build an informed, empowered team.
Why Accessibility Training Matters
Digital accessibility isn’t just a job for developers or designers. It involves everyone who touches your digital presence:
- Designers who make UX and layout decisions
- Content creators who write copy and add media
- Marketers who craft campaigns and manage websites
- Developers who build the code
When these roles understand accessibility, your business benefits from:
- Reduced risk of non-compliance
- Faster remediation of accessibility issues
- More inclusive digital experiences
- Stronger collaboration across departments
Legal Requirements and Risk Mitigation
In many cases, training isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s part of a strong legal defense. If your company ever faces an ADA or EAA lawsuit, being able to demonstrate that you invested in staff training shows good faith and may reduce liability.
Regulators are also more likely to work with businesses that are actively educating their teams and striving for continuous improvement.
What Should Accessibility Training Cover?
Effective training goes beyond surface-level awareness. It should empower your team to:
- Understand core accessibility laws (ADA, EAA) and why they matter
- Follow WCAG 2.2 guidelines
- Identify common accessibility issues in design, content, and code
- Use accessible tools and platforms
- Write alt text, format headers, and ensure keyboard navigability
- Test their work using screen readers or keyboard-only navigation

This approach transforms accessibility from a reactionary task into a proactive mindset.
Who Is This Training For?
We tailor sessions for different roles:

- Dev Teams: Focus on semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard handling, and focus management
For small businesses, we offer simplified sessions that cover the most common accessibility issues and how to fix them with limited resources.
Accessibility as a Cultural Value
When accessibility is baked into your culture:
- You save time and money on retroactive fixes
- Your teams work more collaboratively and inclusively
