Betteridge’s law of headlines states that any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no. For at least the digital accessibility landscape, I would like to amend it, fork it, whatever it: Any headline that asserts a thing is accessible is wrong. Yes, that…

Success in modern UX isn’t about having the most content. It’s about having the most findable content. Yet even with more data and better tools than ever, internal search often fails, leaving users to rely on global search engines to find a single page on a local site. Why does the “Big Box” still win, and how can we.

I didn’t start out as a designer. I started out as a frontend developer. I cared about the craft and spent a lot of time trying to master HTML, CSS, JavaScript and accessibility.

In the previous post , I explained how to hide presentational SVGs using aria-hidden="true" . That's a reliable technique, but sometimes I see developers use role="presentation" instead, which may or may not work as expected.
