The Accessibility Brief
Accessibility updates, in plain English, when they actually matter.
We watch the standards so you don't. A plain-English newsletter that tells you what changed across WCAG, the European Accessibility Act and ADA case law, what it means for you, and what to do next.

Why this exists
Accessibility is a moving target. The European Accessibility Act's requirements came into force in June 2025, WCAG moved to 2.2, EN 301 549 is being updated, and US ADA Title II deadlines were extended in 2026. You can't read one article and be done. So instead of asking you to track the W3C, EUR-Lex and the DOJ yourself, we do it, and we send you the short version.
How often you'll hear from us
Monthly, plus breaking-change alerts. The monthly issue rounds up what moved. The alerts go out the moment something material lands, so a deadline shift or a new standard reaches you in days, not after your next audit.
What's in each issue
- What changed, written so you don't need to read a 200-page standard to follow it.
- What it means for you, separated by EU and US obligations and by role where it matters.
- What to do next, in concrete steps.
- A link to the official source, every time, so you can check our work.
Who reads The Accessibility Brief
- Website and ecommerce owners who got asked about accessibility and need to stay current without hiring in.
- Marketing and product leads who own the site and need to brief leadership on every change.
- Developers and designers who have to build to WCAG and want to know which criteria moved.
- Digital agencies who need to stay authoritative for their clients.
- Public-sector and procurement teams tracking EN 301 549, accessibility statements and VPATs.
The fine print, kept honest
We have no software to sell and no overlay to push, so the newsletter exists to inform you, not to soften you up for a pitch. We won't sell or share your email. Unsubscribe in one click, any time. See how we handle your data on our privacy page.
