★ Unit 18

Accessibility and inclusive design

Design for the full range of people who'll use your product. Learn how WCAG 2.2 is organised, then fix real problems on a design board in every lesson: contrast, zoom and reflow, focus order and focus styles, screen reader names and annotations, forms and errors, touch targets and motion. Finish by testing a flow the way a professional would, and by judging what automated and AI checkers can and can't tell you.

1Why accessibility, and how WCAG worksSee disability as a mismatch you can design away, and find your way around WCAG 2.2: its four principles, its levels and why the law points at it.
2Colour and contrast, properlyCheck and fix contrast for text, large text and interface parts, and never let colour carry meaning on its own.
3Text size, zoom and reflowDesign layouts that survive 200% text, 400% zoom and people's own spacing settings, without hiding or cutting off anything.
4Keyboard, focus and skip linksDesign a sensible focus order, clearly visible focus styles that are never hidden, and quick ways to skip repeated content.
5Screen readers, semantics and annotationsUnderstand what a screen reader announces, give every element a name, role and sensible order, decide on alt text, and annotate designs so developers build it right.
6Forms, errors and cognitive accessibilityDesign forms with real labels, clear instructions and errors that help, avoid asking twice, make signing in possible without memory tests, and write in plain language.
7Touch targets, gestures and motionSize and space targets so people can hit them, offer simple alternatives to dragging and complex gestures, and keep motion safe and optional.
8Testing, audits and AI checkersCombine automated checks, manual reviews, assistive technology and testing with disabled people, and judge AI accessibility suggestions instead of trusting them.
