Web Application Accessibility
Improvements from the Field, Starting Today
Rikiya Ihara, Daisuke Kobayashi, Soichi Masuda, Rei Yamamoto
Summary
A Japanese-language guide to web accessibility that unpacks the WCAG principles and shows how to apply them through semantic HTML and WAI-ARIA in day-to-day work. The eight chapters move from what web accessibility is and its fundamentals through improving forms, UI design, and complex UI patterns, then into design systems, getting accessibility adopted across an organization, and deriving general principles for accessible UI design. It is written to be read across roles rather than by engineers alone: sales, directors, designers, and the people who commission or operate a site are addressed as readers alongside developers, with one chapter devoted specifically to organizational rollout. The book is positioned as a revised and expanded edition of an accessibility title first published in 2015.
Target Readers
- Frontend engineers turning WCAG principles into working forms, UI patterns, and design-system components
- Designers, directors, and the people who commission or operate a site, who need a shared accessibility vocabulary with the engineers they work with
