Accessiblity example content #582

Closed htmlandbacon closed 2 months ago

htmlandbacon commented 4 months ago

What

Flesh out a full page of accessiblity content, this should include WCAG and information about what we should and shouldn't do.

Why

The assumption we should expose richer information abut our components from a design and technical point of view.

Done when

Outcomes

We should standardise a document format, and use one of our component/patterns as an example to gather the context, this will help us better prototype the view.

We might also want to review this with the accessiblity team.

Should we include a specific heading around Neurodiversity, to bring that content and guidance out? https://neurodiversity.design

Not sure but if so I think that also implies specific sections for eg visual impairment, cognitive difficulty, motor skills; there might be a lot of repetition from other sections

Content bucket paradigm solves that problem. Pulling it out, gives it the prominence for consideration.
