#WebAccessibility question for any willing to help:

Attached is the general Swanye page layout; I'd structured tabbing to begin on the right side of the page on the premise that wanting to create a post, etc. would be the first things you might want available to you but, obviously, that then navigates the page right-to-left rather than left-to-right.

For users who'd most use this, is LtR (starting with the posts of the page) preferred? Figured I should probably check before too much is built…

Really like this checklist as brief summary for web devs:

Spent the day trying to set up a digital garden that would be easy to maintain (ie low/no code if possible, gotta do the web dev bing elsewhere) AND accessible.

Super disappointed by Obsidian publish because they claim to be accessibility focused on their page and the sites don’t support keyboard navigation.

would love to chat with someone about #WebAccessibility #AccessibileDesign especially colors / themes

Hey #WebAccessibility Bubble,
I am unsure about this:

UI design (Desktop) requests an image besides a text with headline. No narrow design provided. Arragement via CSS Grid. What will be the better semantic source code order?

article elemtent, holding image, headline and text
- or -
article element, holding headlien image and text.

Especially unsure about image before headline. Is it already related to the content/headline by placing it inside the article?

For my new job I was asked to get some expertise on web accessibility standards. I am a bit surprised that eHealth companies are only starting on these topics. But I am happy that I am the one to take charge of the topic and I hope I can make life easier for the users.
If there are any experts on this here, I‘d be thankful for any recommendations on articles and books (beyond the actual EU policies) and also to connect!

Does someone knows a good #alt-text generator? I always find it hard to describe images enough so a visual impaired Person could get a sense of what the Image is showing. I really try though.
