TOPIC: Bootstrap and Accessibility

Bootstrap and Accessibility 1 year, 1 month ago #435

One of the ideas currently being strongly looked at is to use Twitter's Bootstrap for creating common elements that we would use for creating our templates and for encouraging other developers to use to create a common experience.

Does anyone have any experience with Bootstrap in terms of accessibility?

Hello,

You can see my answer ux.joomla.org/forum/Visual-Design/481-UI...=8&start=64#559.

At this point there is no "fully" accessible front-end toolkit.
Bootstrap 2, Zurb Fondation 2.2, Skeleton and Kickstart Add-ons are not accessible, but there is no obligation to use them.

Andrea,

there's an active working group in Belgium (anysurfer.be) who I could check for a possible collaboration.

That sounds like a good idea.

We're working on a project which we will need to submit to this group to get the site 'certified'. Since we will be discussing this project -- which will be 2.5 and Bootstrap by the way -- we could profit from that project's feedback.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the standard templates would all be at least 'largely' accessible and we would indicate the 'offences' for people to avoid if they want to have an accessible version .

Their checklist is available in Dutch en French, but you can get a basic idea of their approach on this webpage.

Their guidelines are a 'minimal' approach, they are working on a stricter approach which includes things like clarity of language, etc -- so probably out of scope for a CMS.

There are ways to make functional bootstrapping accessible. The AccDC Bootstrap project at
whatsock.com/bootstrap
may be of help to see how this can be done.
