Epic riffs and dancing Prime Ministers? Nope… Welcome to the J of the A to Z Accessibility: Power Platform Edition, and this one is all about Jump! Those who enjoy music or Christmas romantic comedies may be hearing epic riffs or picturing Hugh Grant dancing through No.10 Downing Street. If you are more O/G about this then you may be hearing the Pointer Sisters. As I am a man of eclectic tastes I’ve got all
“A picture is worth a thousand words” – Napoleon. Or maybe a Japanese proverb. Or even coined by members of the press. The origin isn’t important (most people say Napoleon), the quote is. What if you can’t see the image and you rely on Screen Readers? Let’s explore as we dive into I in the A to Z of Accessibility – Images.
Here we are at H in the A to Z Accessibility: Power Platform Edition. This one is all about using song titles… sorry, I mean HELP!
It’s also the cry that can be heard by users all across the tech world. When it comes to accessibility though, help can make or break adoption and make a massive difference.
Welcome to the letter G in the A to Z of Accessibility: Power Platform Edition. Here we will take a look at a veritable alphabet soup of accessibility with GDS, EAA, ADA and more. These are some of the regulations, legislations, and design requirements that exist across different geographic regions and impact organisations working in these regions.
Call them Fonts or call them Typefaces I’m not precious, but these along with the way we apply Formatting to our text make a massive difference to our Accessibility goals.
This episode of A to Z of Accessibility is for The Evolution Experience.
This section could be easily have been dubbed “Progress Over Perfection” but I wanted to get this in early on so I could encourage and exhort you all to embark upon the expedition that is Accessibility.
This article is not tech specific so applies to everything.
Welcome, reader. I’m looking forward to continuing your training. This is the A to Z Accessibility: The Dark Side comes post!

Welcome to A to Z Accessibility – Power Apps Edition. This post is about the letter C and the Creators Kit!
This article applies to Power Apps.
So here we are at C in the A to Z of Accessibility – Power Platform Edition. In this first “C” post I want to look at the use of Colours, colours everywhere!

Welcome to the first post in my A to Z of Accessibility – Power Platform Edition. In this post I will be presenting an ARIA and talking about Accessible Text.
ARIA is especially applicable to Power Pages but the concepts apply to all areas of the Power Platform.
Accessible Text is especially relevant to Power Apps, Power BI and Power Pages.
Welcome to the A to Z of Accessibility – Power Platform. Covering all areas of the Power Platform plus wider areas of Microsoft 365 and more.
Introduction – What lies ahead I have been talking about Accessibility for a while now, and often link this to DELIVERY rather than BUILD. In this post, “Power Apps, Accessibility, and WCAG”, I’m going to bring all this together. I’m also going to tie it in to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) around colour contrast. This post itself is going to be a fairly high-level overview of a Power Platform Solution I’ve written. The
Continuing my look at the Scottish Summit 2021 Accessibility track. One of the standout sessions was the “Instant Accessibility using a Theming Template” in Power Apps talk by Sancho Harker. I first came across Sancho when he delivered a talk at Microsoft Ignite The Tour London in 2020 (just before lockdown). Like this one from Scottish Summit, his talk was primarily demo-led. During it he showed us this seriously cool template app he’d built for
