Design for everyone--without sacrificing beautiful design.

The Accessible Design Reference and Specification Book gives UX and UI designers the tools to meet compliance--and exceed expectations. Award-winning designer and educator Irene Pereyra makes accessibility approachable with clear answers to the most pressing design questions in a Q&A format, accompanied by real-world case studies, practical tips, and inspiring analogies.

Structured around 12 core areas--typography, color & contrast, navigation & structure, interactions & animations, images & video, context, human factors, assistive technologies, team & process, testing, laws & regulations, and history--this guide helps designers anticipate challenges and design accessibly from the start. Whether you're working on websites, apps, or cross-platform digital products, this is your everyday desk reference for inclusive design.

Inside, you'll find:

  • 150+ illustrations and examples to visualize accessibility principles in action
  • Up-to-date legal guidance on WCAG, ADA, Section 508, EAA, and other global standards
  • Q&A-style organization answering common questions across 12 core design topics
  • Case studies and analogies that connect abstract concepts to real-world practice
  • A designer-first tone that balances creative inspiration with practical application
