Design for Real Life

You can’t always predict who will use your products, or what emotional state they’ll be in when they do. But by identifying stress cases and designing with compassion, you’ll create experiences that support more of your users, more of the time. Join Sara Wachter-Boettcher and Eric Meyer as they turn examples from more than a dozen sites and services into a set of principles you can apply right now.

Color Accessibility Workflows

Color is a powerful tool that affords seemingly endless design possibilities, but we often design with only one type of color vision in mind—our own. Make sure that accessibility and aesthetics go hand in hand with every design you create.

Introduction to Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) specification defines roles, states, and properties that should be used to provide semantics in languages where they may not be available. Assistive technologies, such as screen readers, use what ARIA offers in order to communicate with browsers to present information about the status of interactions, and the like. As a result, WAI-ARIA is especially important to consider when creating dynamic content.

Web Accessibility Standards

There are a number of standards that can be considered, depending on whether you are creating a static or dynamic web site, an authoring tool, or perhaps even a PDF document.

The Promise of Assistive Technology to Enhance Activity and Work Participation

This Consensus Report of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine provides an analysis of selected assistive products and technologies, including wheeled and seated mobility devices, upper-extremity prostheses, and products and technologies selected by a dedicated Committee that pertain to hearing and to communication and speech in adults. The Committee has been established to work on the Use of Selected Assistive Products and Technologies in Eliminating or Reducing the Effects of Impairments.

Inclusive Design Guidelines

The Inclusive Design Guidelines aim to help gain a better understanding of an inclusive design approach and practice its application in projects and processes. These Guidelines are concise and engaging guidelines for inclusive design, broken up into four sections: principles, practices, tools, and activities.
