Gerson is a front-end developer who started Web Accessibility Philippines after noticing how little space the local web community had for accessibility conversations. He leads the organization's training and consulting work, writes the Access Notes newsletter, and built the WCAG Reference app.
DICT mandates that all government websites should pass against WCAG 2.0, but even with full compliance, it still leaves many people with disabilities unable to access most websites and apps.
The sites AI understands best are the accessible ones, and the reason is simpler than you'd think. If you are already building for screen readers, most of the work is done.
A while back, I printed a set of flash cards covering the WCAG success criteria to read during idle moments. They worked, mostly, but they were bulky and never had all the information I needed. That thinking led to the WCAG Reference app.
