Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day!

The top 5 WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) failures from this year are actually pretty simple to fix.

I'm going to share these along with some links to help you on your way.

Let's get started.

#GAAD 1. Low contrast text comes up on 83.9% of homepages.

This affects everyone, especially people with low vision. Also, it doesn't make it any easier to read if you have your screen brightness turned down!

🧵UX writing guidance for teams - 1 of 7

Let's be honest, content designers are always stretched. Often, there's a small team of us and a bigger team of UX or product designers.

That's because:
1. good content designers are hard to find,
2. we're not as valued, or
3. budget. 2 of 7

Compared to others, we're still a young discipline. It doesn't make it right, but it seems to be getting better.

It still means we have to balance our time between content dusting and big, strategic pieces that really show our value and impact.
