Is it just me or has Accessibility been taken much more seriously lately?

    Yes, but to be slightly cynical, I think it has been partly the result of recent governmental regulations and rising legal action regarding accessibility standards on the web.

      Ok. I wasn't aware of the new regulations. (From Europe) That is probably a quite a big reason then.

      I work in Norway and we have had government regulations regarding accessibility since 2013 - it's a legal requirement here now for both the private and public sector. So you pretty much just have accept and embrace it.

      A few years ago when I was working in Australia, it was only a topic when we were working for government clients so the few times when we even considered the accessibility of a product, it was just because we had to.
