Make SaaS Platform Well Done for Accessibility (self.Blind)
submitted by orderwerks
I built a SaaS Business platform that I've been keen on from the get go to put in the initial things to make it accessible for anyone, regardless of their physical state to use.
However, I have no idea if what's in place currently is done or even done well. I've avoided making custom controls outside of typical browser HTML elements due to not understanding the accessibility nuances necessary to make them right.
Is it a matter of me just using this browser extension called WAVE and having all issues resolved? Do I use the Voice Over feature in OSX to see how it would work? I probably also need to manage the tab selections better as well. I know developers throw around a11y as a term, but it's another thing to walk the walk - so to speak.
Finally, this may be outside of the scope of this group, but if I was interested in government agencies to use this system, do I need to have my platform 'certified' for compliance using a professional service?
Thanks!

Either give us the link to check it over and give you feedback, or pay someone who is a a digital-accessibility consultant to give it a look around. If the latter, PM me, I could hook you with some of my friends who do that sort of work.

Thanks. It's a closed system, so I'd need to setup demo accounts and what not. Let me do that this weekend and hook you up with a demo account.

Fair. Just DM or PM me when you've got it all figured out.

I’d recommend giving us the link so people can look over what you’ve done.
