#  Web Accessibility Q&A: Overcoming Excuses and Misconceptions 

  

 [ Watch the Webinar   ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6eZ58sn860) 

Accessibility, or the lack thereof, impacts real people every day. The web has made life easier for all sorts of users, but it didn’t get there overnight, and there is still a lot of work to do.

On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, DubBot and Accessibility Specialist Tyler Melone, who is visually impaired, joined us for a live Q&A to discuss common issues and excuses and how accessibility affects your bottom line. We also talked about things you can start doing today to make sure *all* of your visitors feel welcome.
