    Accessible SVG Icons with Inline Sprites

    Standing on their own, icons can be misinterpreted […]. The most important issue though: they lack text. Text is the most accessible format for information on the web. Screen readers understand text best and the same applies to most assistive technology, such as translation apps and Braille displays. So, if we have anything on our web page that’s not text — like icons — we must add text that gives our users the same information.

    Text descriptions and emotion rich images

    A good alt text can conjure up wonderfully stimulating mental images. A friendly smile is the same in print, photo or wax crayon.

  15. Users DO change font size

    Evan Minto wrote a great article showing the Internet Archive has tested the actual root font-size set by their visitors, and the result shows a lot of people still change the default one: Pixels vs. Ems: Users DO Change Font Size.

  18. A Blind Legend

    J’ai soutenu le projet « A Blind Legend » sur Ulule dès que je l’ai découvert ! C’est un projet de jeu d’aventure pour mobile qui a la particularité de n’utiliser que des sons, aucune interface visuelle.

  23. L'accessibilité, c'est aussi pour les handicapés

    Quand on parle d'accessibilité, on a tendance à parler essentiellement des handicapés. Heureusement, Eric Daspect nous avait remis sur la bonne voie avec son article « oublions les handicapés » sur CYBERcodeur.net. Mais après tout, c'est quand même aussi pour eux qu'on parle d'accessibilité, ils ont des besoins particuliers, donc ne les oublions pas trop…
