*sigh* marketing director. Hey can we schedule an accessibility review?
Me. Looks at their website, sees they have a very inaccessible shirt design process.
Me. I am so sorry, but I will be unable to do this accessibility review, but here are some developers that can both code for accessibility and test for accessibility too.
Gives 20 web accessibility developers. Explains in multiple paragraphs why the site is inaccessible. Sends a full report, including blog post links by experts better than me, backing up everything I said and then some.
Marketing director. But they provide more than what we asked for, we just want a video overview of the website with a screen talker.
Me. Fine.
*does the meeting. It comes out to the exact thing I said in the email. That this cannot be fixed unless some deep code making is under way*
Marketing manager. But how do we make it accessible? We don't wanna get sued by blind people. You can't make a website 100% accessible.
Me. Sends an exact copy of the email I sent previously, with more than 10 links to accessibility developers.
Marketing director. But I see nothing on their website about protecting businesses from lawsuits by blind people. Where are the lawsuit protections.
Me. I. Fucking. Hate. Accessibility!
