Building an Accessible Modal Dialog From Scratch
Every site has a modal. A share dialog, a confirm, a sign-up, a cookie notice. And most of them are a div with a z-index and a focus trap someone copied off a blog post in 2019. Here is the thing nobody told you: that advice is out of date. The browser will now trap focus for you, make the rest of

Crissy of Web Chick walks down a leaf-covered neighborhood sidewalk at dusk with Kirby, her goldendoodle, in an orange “Kirby” bandana, holding hands with two smiling children: a boy dressed as a superhero in a black mask and cape and a girl in a purple witch costume, each carrying a jack-o’-lantern treat bucket. Porches glow with lights and pumpkins line the walk. Text reads: Be Safe Trick-or-Treating Tonight! Happy Thursday Family Day!

Are your online and fillable PDF forms accessible to everyone?

Daily Brew graphic from Web Chick. Happy Monday. Headline: Are your online and fillable PDF forms accessible to everyone? ADA Tip of the Day. Try the Tab key test: fields go in order when you press Tab; every field has a name a screen reader says; required fields say “required,” not just red; you can type in it, it’s not a scanned page. Tip: A form that only works with a mouse leaves people out. Job applications, permits, registrations: if someone can’t fill it out, they can’t apply.

Staff briefed council on WCAG accessibility obligations with a compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, and presented three vendor/price options (full AudioEye service, document‑only support, and a low‑cost WebCentral option); council agreed to pause and research alternatives before committing.

Quick contrast check: light grey text on white often fails. Body text needs a 4.5:1 contrast ratio (3:1 for large text). Free checkers like WebAIM's tell you in seconds. (AI-written tip.) #WebAccessibility #SmallBusiness

If users must hover or tab to discover a link, the design is making them work. Links should look like links before interaction.

Why a link should look like a link before you click it
There’s a small design decision that can make a surprisingly big difference to accessibility: how you visually distinguish links from ordinary text.

Make it linkable.
So many email signatures are one picture: logo, name, office line, cell and email all in one image, like a business card.

Put your contact info in real text and link it, so anyone on any device can reach you with one tap

Click here… for what?
Google reads your link words too. “Click here” and “read more” don’t tell Google or screen reader users where a link goes, so the page behind it gets no credit and the visitor gets no clue.

A card shows what Google and screen readers hear: “Link: click here, Link: click here, Link: read more,” circled with “which one?”, and a checked better link, “Download the zoning application.” Google reads your link words too.

☕ WEB CHICK UPDATE
Before ➡️ After for Circleville Township, Ohio 🎃
Their zoning applications were scanned PDFs

Is your organization still posting scanned PDFs?
Let’s talk. 💻♥️

#ADACompliance #WebAccessibility #WCAG #A11y #AccessibleForms #CirclevilleTownship #PickawayCounty #CentralOhioWebDesign
Before and after of a Circleville Township zoning application, made accessible by Web Chick. Before: a scanned PDF form with blank lines for Name of applicant, Mailing Address, Phone and Cell. It has no fillable fields, and a red label says “Screen reader: silence.” After: the same form rebuilt as an accessible fillable web form, with labeled input boxes and a speech bubble reading “Screen reader says: Name of applicant, edit text.” The Circleville pumpkin water tower is in the background, with circlevilletwp.com and the Web Chick logo.
