If I were to make a website specifically for dyslexic users, there are a few prominent steps I could take. This includes using an accesible template like Wordpress, creating significant contrast between text and background, and possibly by increasing the space in kerning. I think specifically making sure to have a good contrast, and to be able to use something like aXe to investigate the quality of our contrast is a great took.

I think one of the best type of exercises we can do to make the internet more accesible is the kind of exercise where we close our eyes and use Chromevox to navigate through a website. It really is one of the most emapathetic ways to do research, because we are actually stepping into a disabled persons shoes so to speak.

Also I think it goes without saying that pop up ads that talk over Chromevox are extremely unhelpful and that a website like Bleacher Report or ESPN is kind of nefarious for not thinking about such a thing.

| What happened in the interview/practice? | |
| Ian Douglas asked me some personal questions, followed by a lot of techinical questions. Then we spent about a half hour going through | |
| a code challenge which was basically like Bubble Sort (find the sum of two numbers from an array of numbers that equal a target number). | |
| What are some best practices of technical interviews that you've discussed? | |
| Stay away from using forEach. Always state Pros before Cons. Don't say "Plug and Play". | |
| What did you excel at in the practice? |
I changed the display of all elements to inline-block, so as to pull them all into the same line. Then after attempting to float '.div2' and '.div3' seperately right, I placed them in a section and floated the section to the right, so that '.div3' did not end up to the left of '.div2'.
