Accessify Wiki
Fixing accessibility on the Web
one site at a time

http://freear.org.uk/accessify
Why accessibility?
● The web - important for all:
○ learn, work, play, shop...
● Many sites place barriers in the way of those
with disabilities
● Bad for the visitor - equality, usability
● Bad for the site - lost customers, reputation,
cost
Why accessibility?

Why Accessify Wiki?
●
●
●
●

There are laws/ guidelines: ADA, WCAG 2.0...
Educators for Web developers/ designers
Lobbyists, charities, consultants
There are other fixers: Fix the Web, a11y bugs
…

Accessify Wiki complements these efforts
Quick fix?

Accessify Wiki
● Anyone can create accessibility "fixes" for
any Web site
● End-users auto-magically employ fixes
during normal browsing
● Tools to help site owners/developers use
fixes in their site

3 components
1. Anyone can co-create fixes
●
●
●
●

Accessibility fixes created & stored in a Wiki
CSS-selector/ jQuery-like* selector syntax
Low-barrier
We don't rely on programmers ;)

We DO need interested
& passionate people

2. End-users
●
●
●
●

User Javascript & bookmarklets to add fixes
Future: browser add-ons
Use (most) browsers
Use (any) assistive technology - screen
readers etc.

org/wiki/Accessibility
3. Site owners/developers
● Tool to compile "fix" Javascript for a site
● Future: preview fixes on an example page
CAUTION
● You should plan accessibility from project
start
● For example, BS 8878, PAS 78,
● Accessify Wiki can NOT fix all problems
You are NOT off the hook!!
Technology/ standards
