Designing and developing for accessibility

As part of building EDS4, we conduct research and testing sessions to ensure that the compositions of EDS4 components are accessible in the context of our product.

To get started, refer to this W3C WAI Design and Develop resource for good practices to help you meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) requirements.

Example: Forms

Testing for accessibility
