Thank you for your interest in writing a post! Please fill out the following information:

Your idea

Highlight 6 common misconceptions about digital accessibility. A short paragraph explaining why each one is a myth will remove a lot of common excuses for not implementing accessibility measures and raise general understanding of what it is and why it's important.

Outline (optional)

The myths would be:

1. Accessibility is Too Expensive
2. Only a Small Percentage of Users Benefit
3. Accessibility is Just About Compliance
4. Accessibility Only Involves Screen Readers
5. You Can Make a Website Accessible with Just a Plugin
6. Accessibility Hinders Creativity
