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](/blog/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](/blog/common-sense-media-app). ## 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](/resources/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. ## Need help building accessible apps and websites?
