    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.

      That is some really wholesome work! You must be very proud of your son. Thanks for the insight into behind the scenes :)

        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.

      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.
