### Build Right, Build Better, Build Accessibly

For a long time, Sparkbox has had the goal to build right and to build a better web. In the past couple of years, we have invested in and focused on web accessibility as part of these goals: leveling up our developers with [certifications](https://www.accessibilityassociation.org/certification), bringing in people to do usability testing in person, and having a [Maker Series](https://seesparkbox.com/foundry/derek_featherstone_web_accessibility_and_inclusive_design) dedicated to the topic. We believe that all websites should be built accessibly and that accessibility should be a part of our whole process rather than a task we do at the end of a project. By prioritizing accessibility, we build websites that enable a wider audience to access the web while also providing a useful and enjoyable user experience.

### WCAG 2.1 AA Principles Compliance

Sparkbox aims to fulfill the principles of WCAG 2.1 AA, with an especial focus on the experiences of people with physical, hearing, and sight limitations who employ the use of screen readers or keyboard-only technology (the W3C [does not recommend](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#cc1) requiring AAA compliance as it can be impossible to attain for certain types of content). Secondarily, we work to create good experiences for people who encounter color contrast issues and for users with cognitive disabilities. However, our user base focus may differ depending on the most common browsers or technologies utilized on our clients’ sites.

Secondarily, we work to create good experiences for people who encounter color contrast issues and for users with cognitive disabilities. However, our user base focus may differ depending on the most common browsers or technologies utilized on our clients’ sites.

We emphasize the **principles** of WCAG over the success criteria because even if someone builds a website that meets every single WCAG AAA success criterion, they may not actually create an accessible experience as a whole. Highlighting principles allows us to focus on the entire experience of the user as they browse a web page, and in this way, we can create a better and more accessible experience than just trying to “check off” boxes on an accessibility task list.

# Pattern Libraries

What do we consider a "[pattern library](https://seesparkbox.com/foundry/building_pattern_libraries_in_react_with_storybook)" to be, exactly? At Sparkbox, our pattern libraries typically consist of all of the "components" that make up a project. We usually combine those components into larger pieces or entire "pages" so that we have some kind of static representation of how the components are used.

Ultimately, what we end up with is a guide for those who are implementing those static components and pages into larger systems, and those who will use our components to build off of in the future.

We don’t believe in a “big bang” release structure, as this presents too much risk and not enough flexibility to ensure we’re building the right thing early on. We believe in releasing the smallest parts of our application as early as possible. This makes the flexibility required in our improve phase possible.

### Release Often
Through the use of [feature flags](https://seesparkbox.com/foundry/feature_flags_continuous_deployment), we can ensure that we can track our changes and roll them back quickly without a separate deploy. This mitigates a lot of the risk in deploying new features.
