One of the many arguments against allowing right turns on red is that it entices drivers to roll up as close to the intersection as possible, the better to see when a gap appears that they can dart into. This causes them to completely block crosswalks, curb ramps, and beg buttons.
It seems like a little thing...unless you need to use those facilities....in which case it's a BFD.
These name tags at State of the Map US are beautifully designed, but the name needs to be bigger! I have to get way too close to people to read their name.
What are people using to test their website's accessibility (a11y)?
Since I use Hugo to generate the pages, my source is all Markdown, so I was hoping to find something I can just point at my website, like a linter. Unless there's a Markdown a11y linter I don't know about…
Hello #accessibility community, I have a question regarding #cms user interfaces. I may have gotten the gig to implement a website with strong #a11y focus, tech stack of my choice.
I'm gonna go with @astro and want to implement a CMS that is as accessible as possible. Do you have any experience with the following platforms?
A lot going on here:
• Verbose.
• The instructions sometimes lie.
• Some triggers are a problem.
• Fake-dialog has issues.
• Those are links, not disclosure triggers.
• Verbose.
• Also, verbose.
Hm. The @EUCommission had a website about accessibility overlays and... Now it's hidden under a SharePoint login? Did someone insist they take it down?
@sarajw@EUCommission terrible? Accessibility overlays are crap! They are illusion, like attempting to cure a broken bone with fresh water. Or, better: AI-driven accessibility solutions might be a guidance during website building, from scratch. But not those overlays claiming to convert a site in accessible mode.
Please remember that WCAG itself is the bare minimum of #accessibility. Conforming to WCAG does not guarantee something is accessible. It does not even guarantee something is usable. All WCAG does is provide you with a starting point. Lots of WCAG failures suggest the page has not even made it to the starting line.
#Accessibility tip: if sharing an image of text on social media along with a link to some original source, that link is a lot easier for people to reach if you place it directly in the post instead of the image's alt text.
I think Shawn does a great job highlighting the accessibility features in Venngage and how Canva lacks most of these features. It is important to note that the ability to export to an accessible PDF requires a paid Venngage business or enterprise account. Venngage is best for companies that can provide a paid account to their employees. It is a shame that Venngage's Premium account does not offer the ability to export an accessible PDF. #accessibilityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRH-2zYU-UE
