Start here, six guides that cover the core
The pages we send most readers to first. Each is a self-contained working document, updated as standards shift.
A plain-English mobile accessibility checklist
Forty-two checks for mobile web and native applications, including tap target sizing, focus order, dynamic font scaling and offline state.
Screen reader testing, a practical guide
How to set up VoiceOver, TalkBack, NVDA and JAWS, what to listen for, and how to write meaningful test scripts that catch real defects.
Colour contrast for designers
The 4.5:1 and 3:1 ratios, how to measure them on real screens, and how to keep brand identity intact while passing AA contrast.
Form accessibility patterns that work
Twelve form patterns, including error handling, inline validation, multi-step flows and the autocomplete attribute most teams forget.
PDF accessibility, the full guide
Tagged PDFs, reading order, alternative text on figures, table headers, and the Acrobat checks that matter most.
