Colorblind Accessibility Manifesto
Before designing a website, or even making a small change to an existing one, ask if your design choices consider the needs of people with color blindness.
Quick Tip: Regions at a glance
Most pages need four regions for an accessible structure. Most of the content should go in the main region. The content at the top of the page - logins, settings, navigation, everything that is shown to the user before the main content - should be wrapped in a header region. If the header has a set of links or a menu for navigating to other places on the site, that should be further contained in a nav region. The content that comes after the main region at the bottom of the page - links to resources, logos, contact information - belongs in the footer.
