The ArcTouch App Accessibility Checklist

More accessible apps - an ArcTouch priority

Several years ago ArcTouch chose to make building more accessible apps and websites a strategic priority. We recognized this was an opportunity to help our clients grow their business and boost their brand. We describe this in our accessibility-first app development mindset and have spent the last few years training our team and building lovable, more inclusive products for our clients, like this app for Common Sense Media.

Introducing the mobile app accessibility checklist

Building an accessible app requires a commitment from everyone on a product team. And that commitment starts on day one of a project. ArcTouch has assembed over 30 of our tips and best practices to help designers and developers to create more accessible apps into a free mobile app accessibility checklist.

This checklist includes clear and actionable advice for all project phases:

• Before you start building, to help the whole team understand accessibility standards and regulations.

• During UX/UI design, to include key accessible features like font scaling and alt text for screen readers.

• During engineering and QA, to properly develop and test with native accessibility frameworks.

• After launch, to implement steps that ensure your app is accessible over its lifecycle.

The path to building more accessible and inclusive apps starts here.
