#A11y Rules PodcastConversations around web accessibility
Jen says that many of the needs for accessibility aren’t that hard to accommodate by developers and designers! I couldn’t agree more.
Eric says that accessibility “is a foundational principle of the web. Like literally the web is built on accessibility. The original specs don’t necessarily call it that, but that’s an organizing principle of the web. And to try to ignore it or overcome it is a lot like trying to paddle upstream”.
Eric talks about accessibility, of course, and semantics, and frameworks, and more! The web prioritises ubiquity over consistency and a lot of these– there have been a lot of attempts to prioritise consistency over ubiquity.
Continuing my conversation with Bri Norton. She reminds us that making accessible sites is good for people with disabilities, but it’s also good for our future selves who may have impairments in the future!
Voici la deusièmme partie de l’entrevue avec Elie Sloïm.
Mais avant de passer à l’entrevue, un petit mot pour vous présenter mes excuses. L’implémentation du podcast en français implique bien plus de petites roues que prévu dans l’engrenage et nécéssitera la création d’un site séparé. Donc, pour il faut passer outre les problèmes de changement de langue en ce moment.
