Text resizing matters. Tim Wright’s article warns that blocking text zoom denies access, especially on mobile or for low-vision users. Let your design bend, not break, at 200% zoom.

Testing Methods: Focus Appearance
WCAG 2.4.13 Focus Appearance ensures users can clearly perceive keyboard focus. A hybrid testing approach, combining automated, AI-based, and manual methods, delivers scalable, nuanced, and human-centered validation, enhancing usability for all users, including those with visual or motor impairments.

GitHub dropped toast notifications because they failed on accessibility and usability. Time to ask: when our UI “whispers” messages, are all users hearing them?

Most accessibility issues aren’t hard to fix, they’re hard to notice.

Inclusive design starts with awareness. Color contrast, keyboard focus, alt text, labels,
small details that shape someone’s entire experience.

Good UX invites.

Stop clock-watching accessibility tests. The real win is inclusive process, not fast passes.

Testing Methods: No Timing
WCAG 2.2.3 No Timing ensures users aren’t limited by time when interacting with content. A Level AAA criterion, it promotes inclusivity by allowing users to pause, stop, or extend timers. A hybrid of automated, AI, and manual testing best ensures accessibility for all.

The web is full of #accessibility horrors that haunt visitors online each day.

This #Halloween, we're sharing ways to exorcise common accessibility issues and treat all your customers to a user-friendly experience.

A skeleton is sitting using a laptop and is covered in cobwebs. Above text reads “A web of horrors: Digital accessibility issues haunting visitors on websites” With a prompt swipe for more information. A silhouette of a person in a darkened room is next to text reading “A lack of alt text leaving users in the dark. Not adding image descriptions shuts out blind and low sighted users from gaining context on what is being portrayed online, such as when buying a product.” A suited, headless man is holding up a pumpkin head. Text reads “Incorrect heading levels. Heading levels help screen reader users to navigate a web page. Headings need to be structured correctly: Use only one Heading 1 per page and do not skip levels. A green bubbling cauldron is next to text reading “Features leaving users bubbling with anxiety: Websites with features that automatically play, such as videos, audio, animations and moving elements like image carousels, can present an overwhelming experience and heighten anxiety for many users.”
