Site Accessibility Testing Methods and Best Practices
I've done my best to make my site accessible using the WCAG guidelines and some validation tools such as axe, achecker.ca but I feel like I'm lost in a sea of thousands of 'suggestions' but few hard and fast rules to follow to guarantee the widest reach possible.
I don't really know anybody using accessible browsers so it is hard to get real-world knowledge. What is the most popular browesr at this point - is it a full on browser or just a plugin for FireFox (or Chrome). Do they react different between Windows and Mac?
Are there any mobile accessibility options? What about for iPads/tablets? Visually impaired people are using a combination of regular browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE11) and screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) [1]. There are differences in the output, but you can pretty much ignore them for the high level knowledge that you are looking for. You could check some articles [2], talks [3] or courses [4] to get the basic understanding of accessible development. [1] https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey8/#browsercomb...
