Making Your Website Design Accessible - Here's What a Blind

Accessibility Expert Has to Say on the Topic

By Karol K.

felt that if we're going to cover it, we need to go above that..."

By Paul J. Adam.

http://pauljadam.com/demos/voiceover-ios-html-aria-support.html



ADA and the Web for Retailers - Technical Requirements

By Tom Toombs.

"... Notable recent settlements and consent decrees, including several
with the DoJ enforcement division, have utilized WCAG 2.0 Level AA as
the technical standard for accessibility. This lines up with other
Federal rulemaking in the U.S. and International regulatory activities
all of which point to the WCAG 2.0 AA requirements as the default
standards for digital accessibility..."

+02: CASCADING STYLE SHEETS.




Back to the :roots

By Simon Simurai.

"The cascade in CSS is a curse and blessing at the same time. It
usually works quite well, but there are issues that let people get all
worked up and ask the question Do We Even Need CSS Anymore. I can
somewhat relate to that - but I also think it's not the cascade alone
and also about fighting specificity. Not running into issues with
specificity is hard. Almost as hard as pronouncing that word."

http://simurai.com/blog/2015/09/09/back-to-the-roots/



How To Nest Selectors And Properties In Sass

By Steven Bradley.

"Do you want to write CSS that's well organized, easier to read, and
easier to maintain? Nesting is a feature of Sass that can help you
keep related selectors and properties together to make your code more
readable and maintainable."

http://vanseodesign.com/css/how-to-nest-selectors-and-properties-in-sass/




+03: DRUPAL.



The Lost Art of Switchboarding/A HTML Savior

By Niels Matthijs.

"...I've been working on two separate projects, one made in Drupal 7,
the other one made in Drupal 8. While 8 is definitely more front-end
dev friendly, I pretty much ended up using the same methodology to
output the desired html. The approach I ended up with also taught me a
thing or two about how I wanted to structure my css work in future
projects. For a while now I've been meaning to rethink the way I
handle css, the Drupal work actually showed me a proper way to go
forward with that..."

Is Drupal Dying?

By Neerav Mehta.

"wo weeks back, I was over at eBay when one of the product managers we
work with interjected "I will be really sad if 3 years from now, you
are still stuck in Drupal.".."

http://redcrackle.com/blog/drupal-dying

Easy Content Organisation with HTML5

"Typically designers and web developers divide web pages into macro
content areas (let's call them regions)..."

easy-content-organisation-with-html5/



Sectioning Content in HTML5 - div or section or article?

By Ire Aderinokun.

"HTML5 was a major stepping stone for the concept of semantic code. It
really championed the idea that how your document is structured and
what tags you use should convey meaning to user agents. Among others,
the <section> and <article> elements were introduced as a way to
section your content in a more meaningful way than a regular <div>.
But when should we use these new elements, and when is a regular <div>
preferrable?..."

http://bitsofco.de/2015/sectioning-content-in-html5/




+07: JAVASCRIPT.




aria-posinset (property)

By Rakesh Paladugula.

"Aria-posinset property defines an element's number or position in the
current set of listitems or treeitems. Defining aria-posinset is not
required if all elements in the set are present in the DOM..."

Script-Based Web Accessibility

By Cynthia Shelly.

"This is a proposal for a set of User Intention Events that build on
ARIA to extend accessibility functionality to complex, scripted web
applications. It supports use cases where markup-based solutions have
proven impossible, difficult or costly to implement."

analytics) analyzed 2 billion online interactions, most of them from
online articles and news sites, and found that 55 percent of the time
people spend less than 15 seconds on a page, which means they're not
reading the news articles..."

Flat Design - Its Origins, Its Problems, and Why Flat 2.0 Is Better for Users

By Kate Meyer.

"Flat design is a web-design style that became popular around 2012. It
is still widely used today, and its misuse can cause serious usability
problems. One of the biggest usability issues introduced by flat
design is the lack of signifiers on clickable elements."

http://www.nngroup.com/articles/flat-design/



Stop Your Team Using Technical Terms and Jargon

By Leisa Reichelt.

"Most weeks I am ridiculed by someone for insisting on plain language
- avoiding acronyms and technical language / jargon in particular.
People tell me that I'm slowing the team down by making them use
proper words, and that their end users or stakeholders expect them to
use technical language..."
