General Information About Me

You are at the website of John F Croston III. I’m a web developer and accessibility advocate from the Washington, DC area.

Right now, the website is nothing fancy and was created with only HTML and CSS. Being an old-school developer, I used vCard Microformats here, along with the “Gotta Eat Here” website.

My blog is full of posts on what I’m up to. Be that accessibility, travel, etc. Along with things I have created or learned, and any other web-related items I have found. You will find a bunch of food-related things.

I enjoy web development a great deal. To do my job, I use the following languages, processes, and skills.

• Accessibility
  • Section 508
  • WCAG 2.x AA
  • DHS Trusted Testing Process (v4)
  • Screen readers
    • JAWS
    • VoiceOver
    • NVDA
    • TalkBack
  • Documents Reviews
    • PDF
    • Word

In My Spare Time

I enjoy talking about accessibility, walking, cooking, and a lot more.

Lately, I've been learning about cooking, farming/homesteading, growing my own food, fermenting, etc.

I tend to read technical books about accessibility, web development, user experience, and design.
