Closing the Gaps: Prioritizing Accessibility in Custom Themes with Drupal 8
Thanks to a tremendous amount of work to improve Core's accessibility throughout the Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 development life cycles, addressing accessibility issues is easier and more manageable than ever before. But there are still considerable gaps to close to ensure a highly usable accessible experience. As the creators of those experiences, the onus is on us to equip ourselves with the skills and know-how to ensure we get there.
