You may be thinking..."There are a lot of accessibility guides out there. Why do we need this one?"

This guide balances being an introduction to web accessibilty with being a reminder of the most impactful considerations.

Each of these points will be explored in chapters.

As far as I know, no other accessiblity guide shares information and ownership across functional areas as well as this one does. It's an accessible accessiblity guide. 😝

The Accessiblity Index Card is inspired by The Index Card: Why Personal Finance Doesn't Have to Be Complicated

The motivation for creating the personal finance index card was to make a subject that intimidates people more approachable.

Likewise, building accessible software is difficult and intimidating. This Accessiblity Index Card aims to trigger reminders and convey the considerations required to make web sites WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliant.

For people and teams who are trying to build accessbile web applications, you can print this card out and keep it visible where you work.

The Accessiblity Index Card was created by me, Ann, with input from others and guided by Deque's Quick Accessibility Checklist for Designers

Thanks for caring about this stuff.
