Accessibility is not compliance. Accessibility is not a one-and-done project. The only way to make your content and products accessible is to start trying, build it into your workflows and culture, and keep improving.

I love that our new sustainability point is making waves in relation to accessibility and #PDFs. The use of PDFs has been a long and hard fight, and one that, as yet, we haven't won. Maybe this is the tipping point? PDFless content = #accessibility + #Sustainability
Eine Anforderung:
„use the HTML publishing format instead of PDFs - along with accessibility issues, PDFs can use more energy as they’re more likely to take longer to load and to use“

I had no idea. Accessibility should be a given.

One of the great things about #GAConf is not just all the #accessibility information, but the positive and friendly atmosphere. Even remotely, we're all working towards the same goal in whatever way we can: Creating a world where everyone is able to experience videogames!

Don't:
-use mass spam of emojis or symbols
-use all caps lock
-use special fonts
-have lots of same word repitition
Do:
-use images with the repitition with alt text
-use less emojis with alt text (example: "🚩[red flag]" if wanting to ensure clarity of use
