Accessibility related question. Does anyone have any good tips or resources when designing for magnification (zoom levels) on web apps?

There are two pieces of advice that SHOULDN'T need to be said, but for some reason needs to be said.

1) Don't hardcode ANYTHING. One of the biggest issues we see over and over is when components and controls are hard coded. For example, if the size/position of a control is fixed it might not resize with the rest of the page.

2) Use native components whenever possible. Most HTML native components are easily accessed by screen readers and other accessibility tools. If you are using a framework/library (as it common these days) double check that the accessibility of that framework is on par with native components.

Thank you for the tips

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

Where do you keep your non-library original components in Figma? Do you put them to the side outside of a working frame, within its own “Components” page (like Sketch does for Symbols), or do you keep the original directly inside of one of your layouts?
