Articles on making websites and mobile applications usable by people with disabilities. Everything here comes out of client work rather than theory, so the examples are the failures I keep meeting in real audits: forms with placeholders instead of labels, sliders that start on their own and cannot be paused, and contrast that looks fine on the designer’s screen but disappears for everybody else.
