The A11Y Project
A practical community guide to learning and checking web accessibility.
The A11Y Project collects beginner-friendly guidance, articles, checklists, and resource links for making digital products more accessible. It emphasizes practical web accessibility fundamentals, WCAG-informed auditing, and community knowledge rather than selling a single testing tool.
Why it stands out
- Combines learning material, audit guidance, and resource discovery instead of focusing on only one format.
- The checklist explicitly maps to WCAG concerns while staying approachable for non-specialists.
- Community-driven structure includes contributors, authors, spotlights, and public contribution paths.
- Covers both foundational concepts and practical references such as tools, workshops, and professional services.
Good to know
- The checklist covers many Level A and AA concerns, but the site states it does not cover all of them.
- Its focus is digital and web accessibility, so it is not a general disability-services or assistive-device directory.
- As a community-curated resource hub, coverage may vary by topic and should not replace a full expert audit when one is required.
Under the radar: If you want to get involved rather than just read, the footer links to “Good First Issues” and the GitHub repository, which are useful entry points for small contributions.
