Accessibility as a quality signal
Manuel Matuzovic argues that accessibility isn’t a standalone checklist item—it’s a broader indicator of overall site health. In his view, an accessible site tends to also be inclusive, resilient, usable, and fast, which means the discipline overlaps heavily with general design and development best practices.
The takeaway here is that you rarely see accessibility problems in isolation on a real project. More often, issues with performance, usability, and quality show up together, suggesting that fixing one area tends to improve the others as well.
