Web Accessibility
As the web matures, accessibility for disabled individuals has gradually become an essential part of the user experience. Having semantic relational markup, ARIA labels, adequate color contrast, and sufficient timing for interactions are all key factors in a website's usability.
Keyboard navigation is also a critical component of web accessibility. Users with impaired motor abilities (or those who simply do not use a mouse) will rely on the keyboard as their main source of input. Along with tabbable links and form elements, more complex interactions should also be achievable using the keyboard.
My work with web accessibility includes Level A compliance for .com as part of the G4 redesign. In addition to the guidelines mentioned, maintenance work was completed site-wide for more basic principles such as ensuring all images have alternative text.
My homepage and portfolio are examples of pages with more complex interactions that are functional using just the keyboard. Take the site for a spin with your fingers and give the mouse a well-deserved rest
