Welcome to the AccessibleForAll community!

A community dedicated to making the web more accessible for everyone

Thank you for visiting the Accessible For All Community. We’re so excited that you found us!

This document is the place to find information about the community and its projects. Jump straight to one of the sections below, or just scroll down to find out more.

What are we doing?

The problem

  • Around 15% of the world population has some sort of impairment or disability. Many modern web apps and sites are not usable because of inaccessible design and code.
  • Accessibility education is poor for most available courses, but especially those designed for self directed learning.
  • There’s a lack of easy to understand resources on accessibility, most documentation is written for use by legal professionals and not necessarily designers and developers.

The solution

  • Create easy to understand reference materials for designers and developers to use, which reference more technical documentation where needed.
  • Create a bank of accessible components for use in web development projects.
  • Create tools to make designing and developing accessible websites and apps easier.

Who are we?

The founder of Accessible For All is Emma Dawson, a software developer from Sweden with a passion for both accessibility and open source. Our current maintainers are Cristian Toffanin.

The projects present in this organisation are all developed and maintained by volunteers.

What do we need?

You! In whatever way you can help.

We need expertise in website and app development, accessibility, design, testing, software sustainability, documentation and technical writing and so much more!

We'd love your feedback along the way, and of course, we'd love you to be a contributor.

Get involved

Want to get involved? That's great! We welcome all sorts of contributions from raising issues, starting discussions, adding documentation, making pull requests and so much more!

We currently have several projects on the go. Take a look at the issues and check the contributing guidelines in each repository for guidance on how to get started.

Please note that it's very important to us that we maintain a positive and supportive environment for everyone who wants to participate. When you join us we ask that you follow our Code of Conduct in all interactions both on and offline.

Contact us

If you want to report a problem or suggest an enhancement we'd love for you to open an issue in the relevant github repository because then we can get right on it. But you can also contact Emma by email ([email protected]) or on twitter.

You can also hang out, ask questions and share stories in the Accessible For All Discord (coming soon!).

Want to join the community?

Thank you

Thank you so much for visiting the project and we really do hope that you'll join us on this journey to make the web more Accessible For All.
