@davatron5000 it's not easy to come from such experiences and show growth. Impressive!

@davatron5000 This reminds me of something. Some websites used to include a badge that said “we try to use valid HTML; click this to validate that claim.”

I wonder if we could create a similar badge that says “we try to make our website accessible; click this to validate that claim or report a problem.”

Most accessibility issues can't be automatically checked, the way HTML can be validated.

It's very good idea to have an easy way for people to report problems they encounter, and to *ask* people to report accessibility problems. One way is to link to an accessibility statement from the main navigation or the footer of every page and have a contact method there.
