Everything you need to know about aria-label

One of the most common well-meaning but misunderstood accessibility recommendations is to use aria-label to make things more accessible. It’s hard to know when not to use something or when a better alternative exists, because documentation usually focuses on what to fix, not how to choose the best approach.Code examples in the blog post: https://kineticiris.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-aria-label/ Video version: https://youtu.be/182w-ItJJCUTimestamps:1:16 - The options3:51 - Use aria-label: Landmarks5:32 - Use aria-label: Icons, SVGs, canvas9:46 - Use aria-label: Custom widgets10:13 - Why use something else11:29 - Something else: Form field labels12:40 - Something else: Links13:42 - Something else: Images14:33 - Something else: Background images15:27 - Something else: Inline images16:03 - Don’t use aria-label16:38 - How to decide

Elementor's Accessibility Missteps

Elementor had seemed committed to accessibility. Then they (re)launched an accessibility overlay plugin and things started to shift. What seemed like a huge opportunity to make a positive impact on millions of sites quickly seemed to turn into the same old familiar story.Watch the quick audit of Elementor's Ally Web Accessibility page: https://youtu.be/MjjU6YTw5_0Read more about accessibility: https://kineticiris.com/blog/

Internationalization is Accessibility: Adapting your website for any language

Accessibility Testing Tools

Knowing what tools to use can be a major step forward in making sure your site is accessible. These tools aren't going to pick up everything, and nothing can replace a human reviewing your site, but catching some of the quick wins and easier fixes now will help you catch some repeating accessibility issues and keep from making the same mistakes. (This is the audio from a YouTube video series.) All links can be found in the blog post and/or YouTube videos.- Blog post: https://overnightwebsite.com/accessibility-testing-tools/- YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLDyPOEjPeDmnearYAQLu5naBRzf-e49B

Opening links in a new tab

Not every external link needs to be opened in a new tab. Forcing a link to open in a new tab takes the choice away from your visitor. I can open a link in a new tab a few different ways if I want to — I can’t force a link to open in the same tab if you’ve told the link to do the opposite. Forcing links to open in a new tab goes against expectations, and it takes away my choice.

Make your web tools accessible

Disabled people create content for the web. They have jobs that require them to use certain programs or work in a department that has a specific set of tools or workflows. Disabled people are even developers. When you include accessibility in your web content tools, you're enabling everyone to create their own websites, to do their jobs, to share their knowledge, and to participate in online communities.

Creating an Accessible Accordion Block

Accordions are a great way to organize certain types of content so that your visitors can find what they need quickly. But how do you make them accessible? And how do you make it easy to update in the block editor? Let's put together a solid starting point for creating an accessible accordion that you can use anywhere. This is the audio from a recorded video, which means there are a few references to what I'm showing on the screen, which is described as it's being shown. - Code Link: https://github.com/queerdevperson/ow-accordion - Example: https://overnightwebsite.com/faq/
