## Accessibility

- [A11yproject's Web Accessibility Checklist][] - ***"A beginner's guide to web accessibility"***
  Everything on a11yproject.com is very helpful for working to make a website more accessible
  for users from your grandparents, to those dealing with one or more out of a variety of 
  kinds of disabled.
- [W3C's Guidelines For Contrast][] - ***"Ensuring that a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 exists between text"***
  a11yproject.com [goes in depth on this][A11y Contrast Guidelines], but it's helpful to examine
  standards documents on these kinds of things.

## Interaction

- [W3C's Html5 Forms Chapter][] - ***Modern methods for form validation.***
  You might not need a form validation library anymore thanks to the new forms chapter.
  However, based on your browser support requirements, you might need a polyfill to use
  these new features, but polyfills are a good way to future-proof your website.

## Presentation

- [Chris Coyier's Guide To Flexbox][] - ***Less painful css layouts.***
  Although the [Grid Layout Module][] may be better suited to large-scale layouts (it's less
  prone to reflows as content loads), `flex` receives better (eg, more than basically none at 
  all) support at [96% on caniuse.com][Flexbox Support] compared to `grid`'s 
  [9% on caniuse.com][Grid Support]. Until `grid` is finalized and implemented/enabled for the 
  public, `flex` is a good replacement for legacy layout methodologies.
