Web accessibility is generally super easy, but that comes with huge caveats. If you are comfortable with HTML and JavaScript you should be achieving 80% AA conformance immediately out of the box.

1) The more abstract and frameworky the code becomes the more challenging accessibility becomes. Vanilla JavaScript applications have an insanely huge advantage here.

2) Understanding web accessibility is as straightforward as reading the conformance criteria. This remains true for non developers.

3) Developers have one additional step to really understand accessibility: using HTML correctly to describe content.

4) Finally the most challenging part of accessibility from only looking at the code is color contrast and enough space between interactive controls.
