Add a Web Accessibility Guide

[gerardo-rodriguez]

I'd like to take the lead on adding a Web Accessibility Guide that we can use as a reference on our projects.

I don't have a full vision yet, but some ideas that come to mind

• resource links
• tips
• general guidelines with links to resources that go deeper on subjects
• required vs strongly recommended vs optional/conditionally recommended buckets of advice/suggestions
• what level of WCAG Guidelines are we following?
• some example UX personas (each representing different types of disabilities)

😄

If anyone else has other ideas, please share! 🙂

Thanks @gerardo-rodriguez,

Once you have a boilerplate set up for resource links I would gladly offer some contributions.

If anyone else has other ideas, please share!

🤔 The only things that comes to mind at the moment is:

• Addressing/mentioning various types color blindness
• Testing examples with VoiceOver (and other screen reader tools)

I like it! This is a nice article with some a11y personas: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/unsure-digital-accessibility-imaginary-people-can-lead-laura-ciporen/

what level of WCAG Guidelines are we following?

I wonder if this varies across projects? I think it would be good to set a baseline though. e.g. we always follow AA but sometimes use AAA.
