Building a user interface is no simple feat. Designers must aim to not only make their design easy to use, but also pleasing to the eye for anyone who may happen upon the site. Considering the array of people in our world, with an endless variety of needs, this adds an entirely new challenge. 

One person who is no stranger to the many layers of building a successful UI is Brazilian designer and Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund recipient Maiane Gabriele de Araujo, who calls herself a “designer with purpose.” With this ethos in mind, de Araujo aims to consider accessibility when it comes to any interface design — which is why she created a free (yes, free) UI accessibility kit.

More about this kit
 

This kit is perfect for anyone who is interested in contributing to a more accessible world, but remember: This kit is not a replacement for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Instead, de Araujo’s work should be used in addition to those guidelines and as a resource for further exploration. 

Colors, animations, desktop versus mobile, forms, charts, contrast, and pretty much any facet of UI design is included in this kit’s examination of what steps should be taken to make any interface welcoming for all. Users are also encouraged to grab the widgets and checklists provided to ensure that any utilized pointers are impactfully applied to your work.
