Accessibility Philosophy
POUR principles explained: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust. Shift-left accessibility approach for web development.
We believe that accessibility should be "shifted left"—handled as early as possible in the development lifecycle. Instead of fixing bugs after they are found, we provide tools to prevent them from being written in the first place.
Core Principles
- PerceivableInformation must be presented in ways users can perceive (e.g., text alternatives, sufficient contrast).
- OperableInterface components and navigation must be operable (e.g., keyboard accessible, no timing traps).
- UnderstandableInformation and operation must be understandable (e.g., readable text, predictable behavior).
- RobustContent must be robust enough to be interpreted reliably (e.g., valid HTML parsing).
