Out of curiosity for all the front-end web developers, do you normally test to make sure that your websites are accessible to the blind, color-blind etc.. ? (and i'm not just talking about "alt" attributes)

I've been working as a web developer for over 5 years now at several different companies with close to 100 websites and not a single one seemed to have even considered it. The first time it came up was because a client REQUIRED conformance level AA or higher (I had no idea this was even a thing). In my opinion, ensuring that your website is at least somewhat accessible should be an essential step in every project.

If anyone's looking for some tools to make testing easier you can check these out:

- Accessibility Insights for Web (chrome extension)

Oh gee thanks Windows. I don't have any deadlines and would looovvveee to watch a loading spinner for an hour!

I didn't choose the devRant life. The devRant life chose me.

My new graphics card didn't fit in my computer case. Now it does.🔪

Am I the only one who solves more bugs in my head on the commute home from work than I actually do at work?
