Accessibility Checklist by HEY

First principles

  • It should be easy to get around. We offer keyboard-based shortcuts to navigate throughout HEY and structure the app’s layout with function in mind.
  • We design with legibility at the forefront. HEY uses easy-to-read fonts and we prioritize high contrast in our designs.
  • Accessibility is a constant requirement. We’re never “done” working on the accessibility of HEY.

Current accessibility review process

At Basecamp, our Accessibility Lead is also our Quality Assurance Lead, Michael Berger. Michael works with a team at Aspiritech to to test every new feature and workflow before it is shipped. Michael has also developed — and continues to maintain — an internal Accessibility Handbook as a resource for designers.
