Congratulations for this post, I can only say that everyone who is involved in the creation of online contents, from members of the development team to the writers, is responsible for accessibility.
Each one of them should know the basis of digital accessibility, and care about it.
One of the prime reason for inaccessible contents, as many accessibility experts say, is ableism.
Disabled people are everywhere and deserve the same rights as non-disabled people, including access to online contents.
There are a full spectrum of disabilities who affects the way people access to online contents.
Everyone accesses the web in its own way, and everyone could be disabled in a way or another temporarily or definitively.
