Designing Accessible Components in Figma

About this course

Accessibility is increasingly a requirement rather than a nice-to-have — regulatory requirements (ADA, EN 301 549, EAA) are expanding, and inclusive design has become a standard expectation in design job descriptions. This course teaches accessibility as a practical Figma design skill: checking and maintaining WCAG-compliant color contrast ratios, designing focus states and keyboard navigation patterns, structuring components so that screen readers interpret them correctly, and annotating accessibility requirements for developer handoff.

Tetiana Gulei teaches it as a design craft skill rather than an abstract compliance checklist — the course produces usable, better designs as a result rather than just legally defensible ones.

Frequently asked questions

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are internationally recognized standards for web and digital accessibility, with levels A, AA, and AAA. Most regulatory requirements target WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance.
Both — most accessibility issues are introduced at the design stage (poor contrast, missing focus states, unclear hierarchy) and are far cheaper to fix in design than in code. This course addresses the designer's side of the responsibility.
About 2 hours — focused on practical, applicable skills rather than an exhaustive accessibility survey.
