Design systems shape how people experience digital services—but how do they shape accessibility? In this episode, we dive into the role of user experience design systems in building inclusive products, with a special focus on the GOV.UK Design System and why it’s often cited as a benchmark for accessible design. Join our team for a lively, practical conversation with Arthur Turner , accessibility...

Join the Pega crew in discussion about designing experiences for single time consumer users versus repeat business users. Does it make a difference when you need to design for efficiency and productivity in the workplace? How does this perspective impact screen reader users in terms of verbosity or navigation? As always, we have spirited conversation and different perspectives and considerations.

On this episode of Accessibility@Pega, the team welcomes Matt Williamson, a senior front end engineer who provides his perspective on reflow and responsive design. I think all agree at the end game is to provide a "beautiful" experience for all users, but there may be some compromises for designers to ensure that experience. Join us for some lively conversation and food for thought.

In this episode of Accessibility at Pega, the team dives deeper into the challenges and nuances of reflow in accessible design. They discuss exceptions for complex UI components like tables and charts, the importance of user customization, and the impact of localization and device breakpoints. Real-world scenarios and design dilemmas are explored, highlighting the need for equitable solutions that...

There are so many different topics to discuss when it comes to tables, but this is one that comes up quite a lot from our customers building applications, that is, tables that allow for inline editing. Inline editing simply means that read-only data as well as input fields can be included within a single table. Makes sense when you are editing a lot of content, but it can be challenging for person...

There are no direct example of how to implement drag and drop for keyboard users in the ARIA Authoring Practices Guide. Therefore, we discuss the general WCAG guidance, industry design standards as well user considerations to find a path we decided to move forward with in our applications. Come join the conversation for where drag and drop are needed for business and are inclusive for all users.

Displaying data in a table is a very basic need for most applications. The true power of understanding your data is through manipulating the content using different tools and interactions. This allows your data to tell a story. Join the Pega team in exploring the types of interactions that are needed to tell that story and how we ensure accessibility is factored into the design.

Today we are talking about our journey with tables at Pega and how we evolved from using tables to using the grid role to meet our business use cases. Each navigates differently and has different WCAG requirements. Explore with us.

Today we will discuss status messages. We are going to cover the WCAG success criteria, the intent behind their use, the best practice techniques and then we can dive into some fun examples.

Accessibility touches all our lives and the lives of our family, friends and colleagues. Many don't know the intricacy involved in creating a beautiful user experience for everyone, including persons with disabilities. For our initial podcast and today's topic, we thought we'd start right at the WCAG (or the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). We will discuss how they came to be, where they are...
