Overview
Welcome to My Accessibility Project
In this website, I’m showing everything I’ve learned so far this semester about web accessibility. Accessibility is about making sure people of all abilities including users with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities can access, understand, and interact with digital content without unnecessary barriers.
This project follows major accessibility standards like Section 508 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and it applies the POUR principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
The goal of this site is to give practical examples of accessible design, explain why those choices matter, and connect everything back to the guidelines and best practices we’ve covered in class.
Project Overview
This site contains six pages, each focusing on a different accessibility topic:
- Accessible Website Basics: Overview of Section 508, WCAG, and POUR.
- Accessible Data Table: A semantic table with captions and headers.
- Accessible Form: A form with labels, instructions, and keyboard access.
- Accessibility Testing Tools: Tools such as WAVE, FAE, AWR, and validators.
- Accessible PDF: A tagged PDF with proper reading order and alt text.
- Closed‑Captioned Multimedia: A video example with accurate captions.
How to Navigate This Site
Use the navigation menu at the top of each page to explore the different accessibility topics. Each page includes explanations, examples, and reflections based on the work completed in class labs.
