Hi team,
I'm starting a little thread for any recommendations for accessibility best practice for email as it's a question that comes up a lot in network discussions.
Do you have any go to blogs or websites you use to check your campaigns? How about campaigns you send designed to promote access at your organisation?
Share below - we'd love to see them!
We use https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ for colors and I have the WAVE Chrome extension from them installed, to run against the web version of a campaign when I feel like something may need inspection.
I also have the basic settings in our Starter Email configured to be a minimum of 16 (exception: fine print at very bottom) with a minimum line-height of 1.5em. Plus mandating careful consideration of Alt Text---using it well, or not, for decorative elements--and how the H tags are used. In addition to the upcoming webinar via WordFly. I'm in the process of developing my own training curriculum around this for a set of incoming new users. It's only one aspect of what I'm building, but I'll share it if I don't feel like the presentation becomes too proprietary.
That sounds very exciting! Thanks for offering to share - I'm sure a lot of us would be interested to see it :)
