[Post] Automated Tools Can Ensure Full Accessibility Compliance

[melwynjo]

Thank you for your interest in writing a post! Please fill out the following information:

Your idea

The post will debunk the myth that automated tools alone can ensure full compliance with WCAG, ADA, or EAA. Many companies promote their tools with promises of accessibility compliance, but these tools can only detect some issues. Critical elements like focus order and meaningful navigation require human judgment. This post fits The A11Y Project’s mission by clarifying a common misconception and encouraging a balanced approach to accessibility.

Hey @melwynjo, thanks for submitting this pitch. I think that this is something that would be very beneficial for the site to have going forward, so please tag me when you have a PR or draft ready for review!

Hey @ericwbailey!

I have the draft in my Google Docs. If you could share your email, I can give you access to it. Or what's the best way to share it with you?

[ericwbailey]

Nice! You can email me via the email address on my website. Sorry for the awkward middle step here, just trying to avoid spam by directly posting it here 😬

No worries, man! I have given you access to the doc. Kindly check and text me if there are any issues :)
