Designing with Accessibility in Mind
summary
Design focuses on concrete fixes: follow WCAG 2.0 (A/AA/AAA), use ARIA attributes, keep visible focus indicators, and meet a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio. Provide captions, transcripts and sign language for media, and test with color-vision simulators, Sketch plugins and automated Node accessibility checks that run like unit tests. Note legal risk (ADA suits into the tens of millions) and real-world stats (about 10% register disabilities, many more need vision or hearing accommodations), so accessible markup and captions are low-cost, high-impact steps.
