# Accessibility in production: preventing regressions

![Picture of Karine Simard](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/9a22adee68462f6f925d3847455b01e4) By   Karine Simard  ·   1 minute read

A site that is accessible is not just set-and-forget: it must always remain accessible.    
It is in this phase that we ensure the proper functioning and evolution of the application.  

Because once online, a web platform becomes alive! 

- - - - - **Bug fixes** and performance improvements.  

- - - - - **Functional updates** (new features).  

- - - - - **Security monitoring** (dependency updates, patches).  

- - - - - **Technical support and user feedback management**.  

Maintaining accessibility after a website has been put into production requires regular monitoring and continuous integration of best practices.

Here are 5 key strategies:

       1. Regular monitoring and audits 

- - - - - Automate checks with tools like **axe-core**, **Lighthouse**, or **Pa11y CI**.  

- - - - - Schedule regular manual testing with screen readers and keyboard navigation.  

- - - - - Conduct accessibility reviews after each update.  

      2. Integration into development processes 

- - - - - Add accessibility testing to CI/CD pipelines to prevent regressions.  

- - - - - Integrate an accessibility checklist into every Agile sprint.  

- - - - - Raise awareness of the importance of complying with [**WCAG standards**](https://pages.ciao.ca/en-ca/wcag-checklist?hsLang=en-ca) from the design stage.  

      3. Maintenance of content and components 

- - - - - Check that new content (articles, images, videos) meets standards.  

- - - - - Test the accessibility of new features before they are deployed.  

- - - - - Keep up-to-date documentation on best practices.  

      4. Collecting user feedback 

- - - - - Set up a feedback form dedicated to accessibility.  

- - - - - Work with people with disabilities to test and improve the experience.  

- - - - - Monitor behavioral analytics for potential issues (e.g., dropout rates on certain routes).  

      5. Awareness and continuing education 

- - - - - [Regularly train web developers, designers and writers](https://pages.ciao.ca/en-ca/digital-accessibility-training-catalog?hsLang=en-ca) on the latest best practices.  

- - - - - Organize accessibility workshops and user testing sessions internally.

The objective is to integrate accessibility into a continuous improvement approach to prevent it from deteriorating as the site evolves.
