Although there are many accessibility resources on the web, they’re often disparate and don’t provide an entire pack of information to get you started with learning more about accessibility and also teaching you about how to test. This is where Salsa’s accessibility starter kit comes in! While you won’t become an accessibility expert overnight, you will receive in-depth accessibility educational resources, testing checklists, and templates to use during testing.
