Can anyone point me to good resources or even short courses to learn the best practices for accessible graphic design?

Looking to learn a little bit about how to make my website, clients websites more accessible. I remember seeing a few resources about this but can't seem to locate them now.

  • Hi Hollie. The links already shared by other people are great. Check out https://generalassemb.ly/ as well. They have longer courses, but accessibility insights are part of some of them.
  • Hi Hollie, I've followed these 2 free FutureLearn courses (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/introduction-to-ux-and-accessible-design and https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/create-accessible-interfaces), they give you a general insights and some useful tips and links to begin your research. I really liked the fact that one of the educator has a disability himself so it made me really understand how much the user experience could be frustrating.

  • Although it's more geared towards developers the A11Y project is a good resource on web accessibility: https://www.a11yproject.com/
