Enjoyed Graham Armfield‘s talk on Designing for Accessibility at WordPress Bournemouth this month. Graham noted that 11% of the UK population is affected by low vision.
The key elements we should be thinking about when creating accessible websites are:
• Headings
• Landmarks
• Keyboard Interoperability
• Focus Management
• Forms
Some useful tools to remember:
• Paciello Group Colour Contrast Analyzer
• NVDA Screen Reader for Windows
• JAWS Screen Reader
