Putting a lot of resources in one place. I’ll come back, add to it and update on a regular basis.

I’m not an expert. I’ve spend a lot of time educating myself since 2016 via articles, video, conferences, following disabled people and accessibility experts on Twitter.
If you spot a term or something I should not be using, please tell me. I keep realising I’ve done things wrong in the past, so I keep adjusting. It’s a journey.
More people want to learn too, so this post will be something I can share easily when asked for resources.
Note that there is this huge source of resources already from Webflow, but I never had enough time to check all of it: a11yresources.webflow.io and this one from webaccessibility.org
You can also subscribe to A11Y weekly and receive an email with lots of resources every week.
