We ran an audit to see what issues the different accessibility testing tools pick up. We deliberately introduced 143 accessibility barriers to a page of content, and ran them through 10 automated tools. We also had a look at features like usability and cost.

I have read the docs at https://github.com/jarednova/timber/wiki/Extending-Timber but it doesn't say where to add the file and then how to reference the file.
Recently I discovered Contact Form 7 (CF7) by Takayuki Miyoshi. A plugin to create forms on a WordPress website. I was looking for an accessible alternative for Gravity Forms, and discovered that Contact Form 7 does an excellent job!
Up to now I used Gravity Forms, which is a great plugin. But it has some accessibility issues and has W3C validation errors for the HTML and CSS. Gravity Forms also doesn’t have an accessible backend.
Contact Form 7 recently (version 3.6) added accessible WAI-ARIA to the forms, e.g. for error messages and required fields. Also the plugin gives you complete controle over the HTML output of the form.
A second advantage of Contact Form 7 is that the backend is fully accessible, so a visually impaired content manager can build her own forms.
The only drawback is that the default form, provided by the plugin needs to be changed to make the form fully accessible, but that’s easily done, unlike with Gravity Forms.
I have been developing accessible, effective user interfaces for the Web since 1993, as well as interfaces for multimedia and software applications. With a focus on standards and accessibility, I ensure software and web-based applications can be utilized by users with varying levels of ability on a wide array of platforms.
The twelve-factor app is a methodology for building and deploying software on the cloud that is based on research by employees of the Heroku hosting platform. It’s designed to help developers keep their code isolated and setup in a way that minimizes risk. Number three on this list is to store the config in the environment because configuration varies substantially across deploys, code does not.
When you post/share a URL on Facebook, it automatically scrapes the site to determine what picture or video, page title and page description to show. It does this by looking at the Open Graph (OG meta tag) data on the site and then caches that information for further use. However, if you change information on the site such as images, titles and descriptions, this will not be reflected when you post the URL on Facebook, as they will use the old, incorrect cached information.
For information on how to accessibly implement the components I’m working on, I often refer to WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices specification. One thing this spec sometimes recommends, is to trap focus in an element, for example in a modal dialog while it is open. In this post I will show how to implement this.

The human eye contains rods which detects levels of light (dark versus bright) and three kinds of cones which distinguish among the different colors. If none of the cones are functioning (very rare), then a person has grayscale vision. If the cones are semi-functional (also rare), then the person sees colors, but they are muted.
A reference guide for which Gravity Forms hooks are called and in what order for several typical scenarios. Provides additional information for those seeking a deeper understanding into how Gravity Forms actually works.

It's a very simple template, designed to give you the basic tools you need to create a quick PHP-based interaction with the rest of your website. What you write inside this module is entirely up to you, and we expect that every website will have its own unique implementation. Go nuts!

Modifies Gravity Forms form fields and improves validation so that forms meet WCAG 2.0 accessibility requirements.
I’m currently using gravity forms and struggling with the accessibility of it. It sounds like there are no plans to make it accessible, but I know a lot of people use this plugin, so let’s make the best of it.
As you type, the contrast ratio indicated will update. Hover over the circle to get more detailed information. When semi-transparent colors are involved as backgrounds, the contrast ratio will have an error margin, to account for the different colors they may be over.
When it comes to the large web applications, we often operate with complex components. Such components are not just CSS styles for the pieces of an interface but also their JavaScript interactions and templates. As documentation, the style guide should reflect them all. In other words, the components on the style guide's pages should be the same living as in production.
At my recent project, we have been using SC5 Style Guide in its simplest way - documenting the view of the components. For that, we provided the needed HTML in the KSS code and so has received the rendered component library.
