Accessibility Isn't a Static-Site Problem, Which Is Why It Gets Skipped

None of the classic accessibility failures — missing alt text, insufficient color contrast, a focus order that doesn't match the visual layout, interactive elements that aren't actually keyboard-reachable — have anything to do with whether a page was rendered statically or on request. They're markup and design problems, full stop.

What's specific to static sites is the pace: a build-and-deploy loop fast enough to ship dozens of pages a week makes it easy for accessibility review to fall behind, especially when nothing in the pipeline fails loudly the way a broken link or a type error would.

The fix that actually scales is automated auditing wired into the same CI pipeline that already gates the build — not a replacement for manual review, but a floor that catches the mechanical failures before a page ever ships, at the same speed the rest of the pipeline already runs.
