[Accessibleweb] Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up, Thu 7/11/24 at 10 AM PT

[Hadi Rangin via Accessibleweb]

Hello accessibility minded friends and colleagues,

Please join us this Thursday at 10 AM for another exciting, informal, and friendly Web Accessibility/Usability meet-up.

Agenda

UW Create new website accessibility review
create.uw.edu is the main website for UW CREATE, a research center that focuses on building accessible technology and building technology to make the world accessible. So now that we've launched on the updated UW Wordpress website, we need a thorough review! Of greatest concern is the pages under the People menu. We use portfolios to build and list faculty members and leadership<https://create.uw.edu/people-of-create/>. There are design and technical challenges with portfolios - but are they accessible?

Card design pattern and accessibility
We receive regularly questions about card accessibility and we decided to start a conversation on card accessibility with different implementations. There are many implementations of cards  out there and some of you might be using it too. Please send your card examples to the list for review in our upcoming meet-up. In the meantime, here's a couple of card examples developed by Jeane and Terrill:

  *   Flip Cards Demo<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/terrillthompson.com/tests/cards.html__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!kU8iGNT5-fx8u7luaTpzm6P_ZNq5H2cEJNhZxrvW_LTLeeGZuTljHHcdmXvtLGH6Jf1gGCQD$>, a test page that Terrill created for the 2020 Presidential Election.
  *   Card demo page<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/uw-ats.github.io/jeanem-demos/cards/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!jjh7VLfbTFB7adJ_CYbqcLmLlHIC0hl5hUgIKKvk1QxV36p7j-weXAMWKiVWfOGzC6KM7uDFIg$>, An example page developed by Jeane.

Follow-up question about card

Tyler Preder of UW-IT Telecom attended the Meetup in the past and the group provided feedback on the UW-IT Telecom Help Form<https://tel.washington.edu/help>. He has one specific follow-up question:  Should the cards be navigable with arrow keys in addition to (or instead of) the tab key?  And if so, two more follow-up questions: (1) Should the right arrow wrap to the next row if the cards are presented in multiple rows? and  (2) If there's an extra card in the top row (e.g., 5 cards in Row 1, 4 cards in Row 2), what should the down arrow do if the user's focus is on the extra card?

About Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability Meet-up
The Monthly Web Accessibility/Usability meet-up is a place for accessibility minded colleagues to casually reviewing and discussing your projects. This generally includes lots of hands-on testing and code review. If you are working on a project and would like to get accessibility feedback from your peers, please let us know and we will add it to the agenda. We always encourage you to bring your own sites and topics, as it is a great learning experience for everyone.

How to Join the Mailing List
We send our announcements typically a week prior to the meetup through various internal mailing lists, including the accessibleweb mailing list - which is open to the public.
