An Intro to Web Accessibility in Django
summary
Customizes a Django admin to make a low‑vision administrator actually usable: fixes unlabeled checkboxes and sort links, raises color contrast from 2.4:1 to meet WCAG 4.5:1 contrast standards, adds underlines and bolding so desaturated palettes still signal state, ensures modal focus and keyboard navigation, and verifies responsiveness for 200% zoom. Uses the WAVE Chrome extension and an installable jango admin 508 GitHub overlay; emphasizes concise alt text, captions, captioned audio, and blinking <3Hz.
