About the author

Stéphanie moved from Paris seven years ago where she was a Creative Director consultant. Living in a new country had been an eyeopener on the importance of providing good design to everyone.

Since she opened A11Y Toolbox, she passed the W3C Web Accessibility certification and is currently studying the IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC.)

About this website

Stéphanie created 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
