In April 2023, the focus was on showcasing examples of accessible emails. The audience was asked on Twitter to share their favourite examples, and several emails stood out. Here are the highlights:
- Type E: Built by @Paul_Airy, this email demonstrated clean design and progressive enhancement principles. It also discussed meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and provided examples of good and bad ALT text.
- The Exeter News: Built by @wilbertheinen, this email showcased accessible design with clear button delineation, good color contrast, and the ability to toggle images on and off.
- Pokémon Day: Built by @arizdesign and designed by @worrelgurl, this email used accessible fonts and provided a Dark Mode version. It also had creative touches like Poké Balls in the section dividers.
The email recipients were able to see these examples in action through provided links. The article encouraged others to share their favorite accessible emails for future showcases on Twitter or LinkedIn.
