Digital Web Magazine on the challenge of getting clients to pay for accessibility-related changes to their website.

Author Christian Heilmann lists several very good reasons, including:

• Reason 1: It’s the Law But There’s None to Follow
• Reason 2: There Is No Immediate Benefit
• Reason 3: Accessibility Is Sold As a Technical Problem

My position hasn’t changed from January of this year, when I posted:

...web accessibility won’t truly “catch on” until it’s legally mandated (whether that’s actually the current situation is arguable, in my experience business folks aren’t feeling threatened so it’s not a mandate for them).

Cynical, yes.  But still true.
