Accessibility: Improving The UX For Color-Blind Users
 |
According to Colour Blind Awareness 4.5% of the population are color-blind. If your audience is mostly male this increases to 8%. Designing for color-blind people can be easily forgotten because most designers aren’t color-blind. In this article I provide 13 tips to improve the experience for color-blind people – something which can often benefit people with normal vision too.

Checkboxes – how to select parent only?
I have a large list of items like this:
Parent 1
– Child 1.1
– Child 1.2
– Child 1.3
...
Parent 2
– Child 2.1
