Accessibility is everyone's job

But as a developer you can make a direct change. Join us in making a pledge to make your technology more accessible in 2021. Here's 3 ways to get started, or choose another role.

Add to schedule

Add accessibility to your next sprint

In < 5 minutes, you can run W.A.V.E. (or similar) for free and catch the most common accessibility issues and request time to fix those flags in an upcoming sprint.

Install tools

Install some handy a11y tools

There are tons of free, open-source tools available to help you identify and coorrect accessibility issues before they get shipped. The A11y Project gathered them in one place, along with an active developer forum for troubleshooting.
