CAST Figuration v1.0.0 released

[Hung, Jonathan]

Hi everyone,

CAST<http://www.cast.org/> has released Figuration<http://figuration.org/> - an accessible front end framework based off of Bootstrap.

Here’s a quote from their project description<http://aem.cast.org/creating/cast-figuration.html>:

"CAST Figuration is a package of CSS and Javascript that can be used as a starting point for building an accessible, cross-device, interactive web site.  It contains styles for text and buttons; interactive elements such as menus, tabs, sliders, and modal dialogs; column and grid layouts that adapt to the screen and device in use; color schemes that pass WCAG contrast checks; and advanced components such as an HTML5 audio and video player with interactive captions.  All components are built to be usable via mouse, keyboard, or touch interaction as well as accessible to screen readers and other assistive technology.”

V1.0.0 can be downloaded from the Figuration website, and the source<https://github.com/cast-org/figuration> is also available on github.

I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts if you use it in projects.

- Jon.
