Overview

Blend WCAG-oriented thinking with pragmatic UI craft. You will audit patterns, redesign states, and document behaviour for engineers without pretending accessibility is “solved” in one pass.

What you work through

  • Keyboard walkthrough drills on complex widgets
  • Focus ring and contrast exercises with measurable targets
  • Semantic mapping between design components and roles
  • Collaborative defect triage with mock engineering input
  • Pattern library notes that highlight accessibility acceptance criteria
  • Office hours for reviewing two screens from your portfolio

Outcomes

  1. Refine a component set with documented keyboard and screen-reader expectations
  2. Prioritise fixes using user impact and implementation cost
  3. Communicate accessibility trade-offs to non-specialist stakeholders

FAQ

We discuss standards and user impact, but legal advice for your organisation is not included.
