Accessibility: Making your websites more inclusive
summary
Short practical guide that lists failures and fixes: WCAG 2.1 double-A is the target, automated tools called out include WAVE, aXe and Color Oracle, plus Accessible Colors for contrast. Tests used are keyboard-only navigation, images-off, 200% zoom, and pause auto‑movement over five seconds. Rules: meaningful link text, alt for images or empty alt for decoration, declare lang, logical headings, visible focus and skip links. Real costs noted: remediation can take 10–200% more time; an empathy demo and a major maps overhaul prove the approach works.
