The document summarizes a presentation on accessibility, mobile design, and responsive design given at the 2015 jQuery Conference in Berlin. It discusses how these topics are related but not the same, and provides examples of how to design for them individually and together. Key points include that responsive design helps with accessibility but does not ensure it, and that content should be accessible on any device without barriers.

Designing for Responsiveness,
Mobile First and for Accessibility
are not the same thing.
A responsive site is designed and coded to
respond to devices with different screen sizes. Is
not automatically accessible.
20. @webinterface
Accessibility is often as part of person`s need.
Mobile First is opportunity, focus and innovation.
Responsive Design is clear goals, frequent
communication, and solid collaboration.
User Experience build personas of what users
are like and what they want and need.
29. @webinterface
Automatically adjust to user’s device
Designing first for mobile focuses on key features and accessibility
Capabilities
Progressive enhancement
Inherent inclination to follow web standards
Scalable and operable

Using WAI-ARIA to be optimized
for a Screenreader.
You can use it the same way as without a
Screenreader.
A Screenreader gets additional information about
actual state and how it works.

51. @webinterface
Dialog role is used when the user is expected to
provide data.
Alertdialog role is used to announce the
contents of a dialog to the user.
52. @webinterface
User should either explicitly dismiss the dialog
(for example, selecting "Cancel" or pressing ESC)
or close it by taking a positive action, such as
selecting "OK" or "Submit".
When the dialog is displayed, focus should be
placed on an active element within the dialog.

65. „It is the nature of the web to be flexible,
and it should be our role as designers and
developers to embrace this flexibility, and
produce pages which, by being flexible, are
accessible to all. The journey begins by
letting go of control, and becoming
flexible.“
