Hi Neha,

Thanks for doing the AMA for us. I have the following two questions.

1) What are good resources to learn the accessibility of web applications? I am using this tutorial w3.org/WAI/tutorials which contains how to improve the accessibility of the Menu bar, Page structure, Image Carousel, Tables and Forms. Is this sufficient?

2) How to support web application to the blind & color-blind users. How to do that ?

Hello Chinmay,

Thank you for having me :)

#1 There are many resources available. Yes, W3org is good place to learn accessibility. Also, I wrote an article on the my fav resources: a11ytips.dev/docs/accessibility-learning-resources do check

#2 To support the web application for the blind and color-blind users:- for blind make sure your application is accessible via keyboard & it is giving the same experience at screen readers as it is visually. There are many different types of vision issues. Do make sure color contrast is meeting (lighthouse - chrome extension is a good tool to test this) as well as make sure nothing is 'color' based eg: fix the fields marked in red.
