Session: User Interfaces for All: Building Accessible Applications

Accessibility compliance is difficult. All too often accessibility is addressed late in the development and testing cycle. What if systems were designed upfront with accessible inclusion as a design principle? Adhering to an Atomic Accessibility Design Methodology, the open source Accessibility Theme Builder enables designers to systematically achieve consistent standards compliance. The system collects atomic design variables and allows a Designer to incrementally create asset types (JSON, CSS files) that can be used in physical and digital solutions and applications.

The Accessibility Theme Builder open source project is available at https://github.com/discoverfinancial/a11y-theme-builder.
