    • Introduction

    In July 2014, WebAIM conducted a survey of web accessibility practitioners. We received 900 valid responses to this survey. A few disclaimers and notices:

    • Totals may not equal 100% due to rounding.
    • Total responses (n) for each question may not equal 900 due to respondents not answering that particular question.
    • The sample was not controlled and may not represent all web accessibility practitioners.
    • We hope to conduct additional surveys of this nature again in the future. If you have recommendations or questions you would like us to ask, please contact us.
