Accessibility is an important part of modern web development. It is our responsibility as creators of WordPress themes to make them accessible to all users, on any device. In this article, I’ll offer some simple tips to create better, more accessible WordPress themes.
If you’re using input fields on a web page your users will need to know what they’re supposed to put in them or which ones to choose for radio buttons, checkboxes and dropdowns. Sighted users can see any accompanying text next to the text box or radio button but that’s not always possible for users who are blind or suffering from other visual impairments. How can these people know what’s expected of them?

As the craft of Web design continues to evolve, we’re recognizing the need to develop thoughtful design systems, rather than creating simple collections of web pages.
A lot has been said about creating design systems, and much of it focuses on establishing foundations for color, typography, grids, texture and the like. This type of thinking is certainly important, but I’m slightly less interested in these aspects of design because ultimately they are and will always be subjective. Lately I’ve been more interested in what our interfaces are comprised of and how we can construct design systems in a more methodical way.
In searching for inspiration and parallels, I kept coming back to chemistry. The thought is that all matter (whether solid, liquid, gas, simple, complex, etc) is comprised of atoms. Those atomic units bond together to form molecules, which in turn combine into more complex organisms to ultimately create all matter in our universe.
Similarly, interfaces are made up of smaller components. This means we can break entire interfaces down into fundamental building blocks and work up from there. That’s the basic gist of atomic design.
iTerm2 is a replacement for Terminal and the successor to iTerm. It works on Macs with OS 10.5 (Leopard) or newer. iTerm2 brings the terminal into the modern age with features you never knew you always wanted.
Even in the ancient times people knew about the great power of motion. Literature, art, folklore, technologies all witness numerous attempts of people to explain motion as one of the brightest features of life. via Pocket

В то время Мадьяр был погружен в долговременный проект на стыке технологий и искусства под названием Stainless («Безупречные»), создавая изображения высокого разрешения из проезжающих поездов и пассажиров, используя сложное, написанное им самим программное обеспечение и доработанную промышленную фотокамеру. Техника сканирования, которую он разработал — объединение тысяч кадров шириной в пиксель в одно изображение — позволяет ему заставать пассажиров врасплох, пока они с шумом и лязгом летят сквозь темные тоннели метро, фиксируя их в призрачных изображениях, наполненных деталями, которые не может запечатлеть ни одна обычная камера.

Draw your teams together.
Listening to your web content rather than looking at it can be an "eye-opening" experience (pardon the pun) that takes sighted users out of their normal comfort zone. It gives sighted users a chance to evaluate their content from an entirely different perspective: from the perspective of a blind person. A lot of times you'll end up finding mistakes that would have been hard to catch visually. For example, spelling mistakes become very obvious when you hear words mispronounced by the screen reader. Screen readers are also very good for checking the accuracy and quality of image alternative text. Screen readers can also help you identify problems with reading order, table markup, form elements, and many other aspects of accessibility.
