Resources

The social model: do we disable people through our tech?

Do our society's design and tech choices actually cause disabilities? In this article, we honor Mike Oliver, discover the origins of the social model and dive deep into the role that we in tech play in perpetuating ableism.

No Accessibility Without Disabilities

People who are tasked with remediating accessibility often have little experience of how people with disabilities actually use the web. This leads to overcomplicated solutions, as they underestimate the capabilities of disabled people.

Support for Marking Radio Buttons Required, Invalid

How are required and invalid radio buttons indicated when they provide a single selection of an option within a set?

How to use the accessibility tree for a11y testing

The accessibility tree is a filter of the DOM that only shows accessibility-related info. It can be very useful for accessibility testing.

Comic Sans is a good typeface, actually

In my ongoing, inadvertent quest to alienate myself from the design industry, I must now tell you all that Comic Sans is a good typeface.

Foundations: colour and meaning

Colour is a valuable tool for communicating meaning. But if you can't see colour, then meaning is lost.

Quick Tip: Reserve underline for links

The use of underline to indicate linked text is a convention that stretches back to the birth of the web. As a result, the use of underline for emphasis in web-based documents may be confusing to some users. Bold or italics are better for indicating emphasis, though be careful with long sections of italics or ALL CAPS to avoid introducing readability issues.
