What Shahnawaz Builds And Works On
Here is where Shahnawaz fits at HalfAccessible, with links to the service or guide behind each part.
JavaScript and React development
Shahnawaz works with JavaScript, React and modern web development, where custom components need accessibility designed in from the start.
- Custom components: menus, dialogs and widgets need a correct name, role and value. See our WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value guide.
- Changing state: toggles and accordions must announce whether they are open. See our aria-expanded guide.
Accessibility during development
His focus is applying WCAG principles while code is written, rather than treating accessibility as an afterthought to patch later.
- Building on a platform? See accessible WordPress development and accessible Shopify development.
- Site already live? Our accessibility remediation service fixes issues in existing code.
Products and technology solutions
At HalfAccessible he contributes to the development and improvement of our products and technology solutions, aiming for applications that are scalable, functional and accessible.
- Our tools: browse the free accessibility tools and creations HalfAccessible offers.
- Quick first look: a free scan on AccessibilityScore.in (opens in a new tab) flags automated issues on one page. It is a starting point, not a replacement for a manual audit.
Where to start with your own site
Planning a new build or want to know where an existing site stands? These are the usual first steps before development work begins.
- Quick start: the $500 Quick Audit gives a clear first baseline.
- Budgeting: see what drives accessibility audit cost, then compare packages on pricing.
