Accessibility Resources Roundup

This week we turned the spotlight on accessibility, sharing resources to help you build sites and applications that everyone can use.

The centerpiece is the ongoing rollout of Learn Accessibility, a new course authored by Carie Fisher. It walks through the essentials for creating accessible websites and web apps. We also featured three community spotlights in our ongoing series:
  • Melanie Sumner shares her path into engineering, her work with accessible design and Ember.js, and why funding these efforts matters.
  • Olutimilehin Olushuyi discusses his transition from law to web development, how he builds accessible communities, and techniques for accessible layouts.
  • Albert Kim talks about mental health awareness, designing for invisible disabilities, his involvement with the COGA Accessibility Community Group, and practical guidance from his experience.

Live Q&A

On Thursday, Alexandra White hosted a conversation with Carie Fisher and Melanie Sumner, and we answered viewer questions about accessibility. If you have more questions, reach out to us on Twitter at @ChromiumDev.

Further Learning

Solid document structure is a strong foundation for accessible development. You can learn how to make the most of HTML in our Learn HTML course, then continue with Learn Accessibility's Content structure module for deeper coverage of semantic HTML, landmarks, and tables.

For readability, the article Testing web design color contrast provides an overview of three tools and techniques to confirm your content is legible for everyone. And in Building the main navigation for a website, you can learn how to create accessible navigation using semantic HTML.
