Design For Everyone
summary
A Penpot plugin implements an accessible design checklist that condenses WCAG and proven fixes: contrast checks for text, icons and inputs; alt text rules for images and charts; form rules (labels, no placeholders, explicit required text, clear error summaries); visible focus styles and large touch targets; avoid horizontal scrolling and ensure responsive layouts. The talk pairs these practical checklist items with a values framework drawn from the Ethical Design Manifesto, arguing accessibility is a human right and outlining where products typically fail.
