9:45 WebAim | Wave | Making websites accessible

WAVE is a suite of evaluation tools that helps authors make their web content more accessible to individuals with disabilities. WAVE can identify many accessibility and Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) errors, but also facilitates human evaluation of web content.

Can you think of some disabilities someone might have when accessing the web?

ScreenReader Demo

WCAG publishes and regularly updates a set of guidelines. Link to guidelines.

WAVE (web accessibility evaluation tool) provides a nice browser extension to evaluate web accessibility issues directly in your browser. Go ahead and install.
