In most organisations, design documentation often includes annotations, but accessibility-specific ones are still rare. That’s a missed opportunity. Annotating designs for accessibility helps everyone involved understand what needs to be built, tested, and maintained.

Using a common language that designers, developers, and quality assurance (QA) teams all understand is essential so that information doesn’t get lost in translation, especially during the hand-off between design and development.
