How to make your web 2 app accessible.

January 16th, 2009 by Tim Leave a reply »

This is the shortest article I have ever written on the subject of accessibility. For me it’s a comforting thought that it really is this simple to make a web 2.0 app accessible.

  1. Make a web site that works without JavaScript and follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
  2. Grab a library such as jQuery that allows you to inject your bells and whistles with an onload / document ready method and keep your JavaScript out of the body of your HTML.

More accessibilty techiques can be found at the recently re-launched Made For All.
