I wrote this article as a summary for the significant changes that I had made to achieve WCAG A compliance for Padlet.
- Improved Document Structure: Enhanced heading landmarks facilitate easier navigation for screen reader users.
- Keyboard Navigation: Ensured all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard, with clear visual focus indicators.
- Automatic Captioning: Introduced AI-generated captions for uploaded audio and video content, with plans to allow user edits for accuracy.
- Control Over GIFs: Implemented features to pause or play GIFs, accommodating users sensitive to motion.
