What does “A11Y” stand for?

The term “a11y” stands for “accessibility.” It is a numeronym: “11” represents the count of the letters between the letter “A” and the letter “Y.” The easiest way to pronounce it is “ally.”

About the author

A11y Toolbox was created by Stéphanie Lespérance, a Product Designer and Web Accessibility Advocate based in Seattle, WA.

Eight years ago, Stéphanie moved from Paris, France where she was a Creative Director consultant. Living in a new country had been an eye-opener on the importance of providing good design, and as a continuous learner, she trained on accessible design to offer a better user experience for everyone.

About this website

Stéphanie created the A11Y Toolbox theme with the WordPress Bootstrap Starter as a starting point. This requires front-end development skills that she enjoys to keep up to date.

A11y Toolbox uses two font families: Bariol from Atipo Fondery and Atkinson Hyperlegible from the Braille Institute
