What does a web accessibility analyst do?

A Web Accessibility Analyst ensures that websites and digital content are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. They review and test websites for compliance with accessibility standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Section 508. Their role often involves auditing websites, providing recommendations for improvements, collaborating with developers and designers, and sometimes training staff on accessibility best practices. The goal is to make digital information usable by everyone, regardless of physical or cognitive abilities.
