>You know, I have no idea how to make stuff more accessible.
It's actually more about not disabling the accessibility features which so many web designers do. They're all built in and meant to work almost seamlessly alongside your design process, but people disable them because they are so self-centered they can't conceive of how someone with a disability might feel using their website.
Accessibility has been built in to the web for a very long time. The design process is "If I were blind, would I still be able to use this website? If I had mobility issues, would I be able to use this website?" Then you address those uses cases.
- What happens if I can't see this image?
- What happens when I disable focus hints and keyboard shortcuts?
- What happens if someone needs larger or smaller text on the page?
It's not a "kind of" design. It's just being considerate to other people's situations.
