The A11Y Project

What's new

We're delighted to feature Segun Ola for our new Spotlight feature. Segun is a frontend web developer working with Andela Nigeria to build highly interactive and accessible web applications.

We also published a new article: Background: An in-depth guide to ARIA roles. Thank you to Duncan Jimbo for writing it!

Our initiative to match up to $1,000 USD for the support of the inert attribute in WebKit has reached $830! Please consider making a pledge, if you are able.
