Alt text isn't just for screen readers, it helps with SEO (slightly) and will be displayed in place of the image if it doesn't load for some reasons. #accessibility #a11y

It has become apparent that for some people, accessibility is perceived as "special treatment". It's not; it's access. ACCESSIBILITY = ACCESS + ABILITY = ABILITY TO ACCESS.

It surprised me that many pros prefer the CPACC audio to prep! 🎧 Audio helps with retention and works great for neurodivergent, blind, mobility-restricted, or just plain busy folks.

This image reminds me that the one of the most common issues I ALWAYS see- color contrast. It's such a common barrier designers disregard in lieu of 'aesthetics'. I think recently it has gotten a little better. #ColorBlind #Accessibility #VisionImpaired #Disabilities #UX

💡Across more than 1 billion websites, one particular #accessibility barrier is everywhere — but all too often no one notices it.

In our latest post @ebuie.bsky.social explains why it’s such a problem, what WCAG says about it, and how new research is shaping better approaches:

Three horizontal sections in varying shades of purple, each displaying the white text: 'What is the single most common accessibility issue in digital design?' The darkest section at the bottom includes the word 'NEXER' in white in the bottom right corner.
