The earlier accessibility is considered in software delivery, the easier and cheaper it is to ensure what's built works for as many people as possible. Tools that help communicate accessibility annotations in designs help teams consider important elements like document structure, semantic HTML and alternative texts from the beginning of their work. This enables them to ensure user interfaces meet global accessibility standards and address common failures that are actually fairly easy to avoid. Figma offers a range of accessibility notation plugins: The A11y Annotation Kit, Twitter's Accessibility Annotation Library and the Axe toolset's Axe for Designers.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
