With the April 2026 Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA deadline approaching, agencies that delay action face escalating legal, financial and reputational exposure. Accessibility is no longer just about risk avoidance. Rather, it has become a visible indicator of how seriously an organization takes service equity, operational discipline and accountability to the public it serves.
