My son has been working on this for his company's websites for the last while. He had worked on a lot of design for accessibility while in college so was happy to take on responsibility for it.

A lot of it is e.g. proper keyboard navigation and making sure it's set up well for screen readers, colourblind folks etc.

    proper keyboard navigation

    • Goes on shitty website that doesn't play nice with password managers
    • Enters username
    • Presses Tab
    • Begins typing password in the now highlighted 'forgot username' element
    • Unfathomable rage
    • Tabs and types again
    • Presses Enter
    • Nothing happens
    • Continues to mash Tab, trying to find when the submit button element will select
    • Break, and click the button like an animal

    Belt sander pillows for the people that design this shit, please.

    Thank you. I am so, so proud. He has turned out a beautiful man. One of my best friends is in a wheelchair and hung out with us a lot when he was growing up so he saw the things he struggled with and really embraced accessibility in college (he did product design).

    Here's a funny text conversation we had earlier.
