In this series I'll explore the basics of accessibility and you can join me on this learning trip.
First of all, welcome to this new series on accessibility, something I've wanted to explore but never really did. Until now! In this series, I'll be learning about web accessibility, what it is, who it is, and most importantly, how you can make your ...
Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

It's been an eventful series looking back at all these A11Y articles.
I've already learned so much and feel like I only touched base on some of the basic stuff.
For now, I don't have any articles planned around accessibility, but I'm writing down ideas for a follow-up session.
What are some topics around accessibility you'd like to see covered?
With this question, some of my ideas involve looking at websites out there and seeing where they lack.
Audit guide forms nothing to being accessible.
And in-depth elements that we'll create together.
When it comes to accessibility, there is never a concrete answer. From what I've picked up, there are always several correct ways of doing something, and each will have its pros and cons.
The most critical learning part for me is to use my website as someone with a disability. This showed me where it's lacking.
Another important takeaway is that disability doesn't mean a permanent thing, I didn't realize before starting this journey it's everyone, but situational disabilities are such a big thing.
Since this was only a first step into accessibility, I expect it to become more intertwined in future writings.
I also hope to add some aspects of this back into my projects and thus will be able to write about it in more detail.
As the reader, I hope you learned some things, and please do let me know what your main takeaway is so far and what you'd like to see covered in this field.
