I randomly chose a demo I did for Challenge #308--Pantone Color of the Year--Illuminating Yellow and Gray. When I looked back at it I felt sick about it. It's a hot mess! So here are some of the things I did to make it more accessible: improved the color contrast, increased the fonts, added alt text to the essential visuals, created custom focus orders, eliminated confusing background audio, added captions to the canary songs, and used key strokes as an alternative to the button navigation. I added a download so you can see some of the features that are behind the scenes. Along the way I learned a lot about canary songs and how they differ. Enjoy the canary songs! I like the Spanish Timbrado the best.
- I feel the same way when I look back at my older courses...or even when I come here and look all the amazing examples...then I look at mine and I'm like ugghhhhh! But that's what I love about looking at these...all the beautiful and creative ideas. I really like the idea of the keystrokes for accessiblity. I haven't used those before! Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing!
