About

I created this plugin during Piweek, December 2024. It’s a simple checklist to help you learn more about accessibility and make sure you don’t forget any important elements to make your design more accessible.

How it works

The accessible design checklist items are always the same, but the checked items are saved to your file. This means you can have a separate checklist for each file.

The checked items are only visible to you, not your collaborators, so encourage them to install the plugin and review the accessibility for themselves!

Install

Open the plugin panel in Penpot and enter the following address to install the plugin:

Inspiration

The plugin was inspired by checklists by the A11y Project and Smashing Magazine, and of course the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility) quick reference.
