Story: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0
I am working as a web designer for a few years. The client asked me about accessibility. They showed an example.

If it just mentions appropriate visibility, that’s okay. Front-end matter, font size, contrast, alt tag etc, I can manage them. I saw a shortcut and I have no idea how to embed the function on the WordPress website.

The government is making a law for accessibility. We cannot ignore it. YouTube has installed shortcut keys, K=play & pause, Shift+N=Nest etc.

Conclusion: Avoid lawsuits
I don’t know where you are, but the website accessibility will be a global standard. I am not a specialist for accessibility. I clearly mentioned it to a client. Then, I hired a specialist who is working for WCAG.
If a client really needs to care about accessibility, please recommend subscribing to the accessibility service. If you don’t know a detail like me, please tell it to a client honestly. Freelance cannot endure corporate lawsuits. You cannot compensate a cost by a low salary, 30k-50k.
It was good timing for working with clients who need WCAG. I could learn basic knowledge.
