Requirements

Where to start is laid out in WGAG guidelines in categories and subcategories and sub-subcategories. In an effort to create accessibility for everyone there are eight distinct rules to follow encompassing the issues we should be aware of when developing a site accessible.

Percievable - making sure your design is obvious. No trickery. Straight forward calls to action

Distinguishable - Each element has to be able to stand on its own.

Keyboard Accessible - You must be able to navigate through the web page and use its functionality with the keyboard alone.

Enough Time - Timed videos must have pause and start buttons. If you have an animation or a scrolling text there must be a decent amount of time for the user to read it.

Seizures and Physical Reactions - Flashing lights and colors can induce seizures in people. Take it easy on the flashing and moving the first person view.

Navigatable - Just as a ship, there has to be white space between elements of the design so you can decide where to go.

Input Modalities - Your site must support speech to text and other different keyboards for everybody.
