People on Purpose Design Support
Accessibility guidance from three decades of practice
My thinking comes from a long career, the history behind the work, and current research. These pages hold practical technique, tools, and the reasoning behind them.
Three pathways
People, tools, and guides
Each area holds a different kind of help, from the people behind the research to the methods you can use this week.
People
Profiles of the colleagues, researchers, and practitioners whose work shaped this practice and the thinking behind it.
Tools
Testing resources and checklists for reviewing pages, documents, and components against accessible standards.
Guides
Practical, step-by-step techniques for writing alt text, structuring content, and designing forms that work for everyone.
Accessibility policy
Standards and commitments for digital inclusion
This policy sets the standards I work to: content that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, measured against recognized guidelines such as WCAG.
Each commitment is written to be checked, so teams can test their own work against it.
Principles covered: clear language, keyboard access, sufficient contrast, meaningful alternative text, and forms that explain errors.
