We wear a lot of hats as front-end developers. Depending on the client or company you work for, you may be the designer, UX/UI specialist, site-builder, QA tester, and developer all rolled into one. This talk explores how to add accessibility into that process through an accessible component-driven approach and a KSS node style guide with pre-populated accessible components, helpful resources, and guidance for designers, front-end developers, and back-end developers.
