Why accessibility?
There are many different types of people who will access our guides
Some will need to use some kind of assistive technology
Some will see or hear differently
When creating guides content follow these four principles from the Web Accessibility in Mind or WebAIM Website:
- Perceivable: Available to the senses (vision and hearing primarily) either through the browser or through assistive technologies (e.g. screen readers, screen enlargers, etc.), it is not said explicitly, but also consider color blindness as well under this heading
- Operable: Users can interact with all controls and interactive elements using either the mouse, keyboard, or an assistive device.
- Understandable: Content is clear and limits confusion and ambiguity.
- Robust: A wide range of technologies (including old and new user agents and assistive technologies) can access the content.
