Why It's high time for developers to understand the importance of Web Accessibility?

Nir — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 14:23:04 +0000

Hello Devs,

As a developer why it's a high time for us to think to create a more inclusive web so everyone can able to access what we're creating and think Why it's our social responsibility?

Recent data shows that there are over 61 million **adults with disabilities in the US and over **14.1 million disabled people in the UK, and this number is increasing. The spending power of UK families with at least one disabled person is estimated at £274 billion per year. Additionally, 71% of disabled people abandon websites that present access barriers. Almost everyone experiences temporary or situational impairments (e.g., noise, poor lighting, distractions), and these people benefit from web accessibility. It's clear that accessibility is not only a legal requirement but also an ethical and social responsibility.

Secondly, by making your website accessible to everyone, you're ensuring that people with disabilities can access your website's information and services on an equal basis with others. This promotes inclusivity and diversity, making the web a more accessible and fair space for all.

Thirdly, there are significant business benefits to having an accessible website. An accessible website can increase your audience and customer base, especially as people with disabilities represent a large and growing market segment. Additionally, accessible websites can improve your search engine rankings and user experience, leading to increased traffic and sales.

Fourthly, making your website accessible can future-proof it against new technologies and devices. By making your website and applications compliant to WCGA standards you're increasing your website/ applications longevity and relevance.

So, as a developer, it's imperative to prioritize web accessibility in your code to create a more inclusive and accessible digital world for everyone. You can visit webforeveyone to get more details.

Bridging the Gap: Developer Friendly Approach to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1

Nir — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 17:25:32 +0000

Hello friends,

Welcome to Webforeveryone, the YouTube channel that's all about making web accessibility easy and accessible for developers like you!

Problem -
Let's understand first why developers are not giving much importance and may not be implementing WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
There can be several reasons:

Lack of awareness: Developers may not be aware of the importance of web accessibility or the WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
Complexity: The guidelines may be perceived as too complex, making it difficult for developers to understand how to implement them.
Time constraints: Developers may not have enough time to dedicate to implementing web accessibility guidelines, especially if they are working on a tight schedule.
Limited resources: Smaller organizations or individual developers may not have access to the necessary resources, such as specialized tools or testing platforms, to implement the guidelines effectively.
Limited training: Many developers may not have received formal training on web accessibility, and therefore may not feel confident in their ability to implement the guidelines.

At webforeveyone, we understand that as a developer, it can be challenging to find comprehensive content covering all WCAG 2.1 criteria with example code. While there are plenty of videos available online, they often fail to provide the necessary context and depth required to guide developers in implementing WCAG 2.1 guidelines. That’s why we’ve created this channel — to offer you a one-stop solution to easily implement Web accessibility WCAG 2.1 success criteria within your code.

We’ve covered all 78 WCAG 2.1 success criteria, so there’s no need to search or go to any other places to learn how to implement them. We have explained each criterion in detail with relevant examples and code, making it simpler for you to understand and apply accessibility guidelines. Developers don’t have to struggle and search extensively on websites and other channels to implement these criteria anymore.

We’ve put in a month’s worth of effort into creating high-quality content and have utilized various online AI tools to ensure that our content is informative, concise, and engaging. We’re committed to providing developers with the best possible resources to make their websites accessible to everyone.

So, if you’re a developer looking to learn more about implementing web accessibility guidelines, subscribe to our channel webforeveryone and join our community .

Together, we can create a more inclusive web for everyone :)

Thanks,

I've created my own SVG Icon library

Nir — Fri, 24 Jun 2022 13:48:04 +0000

There are already so many free SVG Icon Libraries available on web. I was thinking how quickly and easily one can download SVG icons and use within app so I've created my own for very simple basic usage. I've added option to change color on the fly and download.

SVG ICON Library

I hope you find this useful

Happy Coding:)

Learn for your knowledge not to just label it

Nir — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 06:42:04 +0000

There are people who are good into presentation skills but, not so much knowledge about subject matter and details and there are few who are excellent into knowledge, discussions and clearing doubts but, poor at presentation skills, there are very few who are having half knowledge and who doesn't agree easily on anything and there are few jack of all master of none.

Half knowledge is always dangerous and It's not possible to have skills without proper knowledge and hence, having knowledge to use skills is important than having just skills without any knowledge.

Now, there are lot of certifications platforms available via which one can learn and show their achievements on the go. Of course it will help you your career progression but, my question is - Are we learning it just to showcase as my skill and my achievement or are we learning it go in depth and to gain more knowledge?

What do you think?

Something to learn from Squid Game

Nir — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:32:25 +0000

This South Korean survival drama television series making headlines.

It's a personal choice. I don't encourage anyone to go and watch. This post I'm just sharing my personal experience and perspectives.

There are many things I've noted from design side which separates it from other series.

Uniqueness

Mysterious dystopian thriller with uniqueness in every character and every game

Limited colors

Very limited colors used throughout series

In depth research

In depth research done for each character

Characters

Compelling characters includes all age groups

Shapes/ Layouts

Different shapes everywhere, each game has different layout and design

Simple

Simple Old traditional games

Background

Unique background with depth

Content

Very simple easily understandable predictable content

Brand

Focus on branding apart from normal story telling techniques

Personally I like this dialogue :)

"Life is like a game, there are many players. If you don't play with them, they'll play with you."

A good design can inspire - Design is everywhere and if you do good research than you can inspire and make a difference.

Thanks for reading!

Different but familiar and interactive todo list using React's Context API

Nir — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 09:45:48 +0000

One crazy idea popped in my head - so I've created very basic interactive UI using React's context API and local storage.

I was exploring different ways of putting and settled on this. I've categorized few daily regular routines.

Few things needs an upgrade. There are thousands of todo apps so thought to make it in a little creative in a different way.

You can check it on here

Leave a star if you find creative 🙂
