Folwell Web Theme Accessibility

When the Folwell Web Theme was created, component accessibility was considered every step of the way. Kathy and Dimitri will talk about the up-front research done for each component, the methods used to properly configure components to be accessible, the testing done for each component during and after development, and the ongoing updates being made to keep Folwell accessible.

Form Controls

Use label tags for all fields, fieldset and legend tags, and onfocus styling to ensure all users of your product can submit website forms. 

Image Tags and Styles

Add appropriate alternative text or an empty alt attribute to every image, including CSS background images, and ARIA tags to font icons. 

HTML and CSS

Use minimalist HTML to semantically describe the content of a page, and CSS to style it.
