About Accessible A11Y

How It Started

I was searching for a way to fulfill the requirements for my capstone project of my B.A. in Visual Communication Design. After searching for a project, I realized I wanted to not only fulfill requirements, but to actually make a difference with my project. Growing up I was surrounded by people on the ability spectrum, without even realizing it. Getting into the field of web design, I realized that many people don't access the web in the same way that I do, and that they ended up being excluded from some experiences on the web.

Researching more into web accessibility, the more I realized that while there were many resources available, it was hard to piece them all together. I decided to solve this issue by creating this site as a resource to compile all the standards, tutorials, tools, examples, and motivations behind accessibility into one place. In this way, I hope to make accessibility more accessible, hence the name Accessible A11Y.

I also hope this site can serve to dispell the myths that accessibility cannot look good, that someone's audience wouldn’t benefit from accessibility measures, and that accessibility is too difficult to implement.
