@TheOdinProject/html-css Can someone give their opinion on this please.

I like The A11Y Project as an additional resource.

I feel the edx course is a bit much, given it's a "4-week" course (self paced yes, but that's still representative of what they deem appropriate for their course content). I think we were wanting to avoid having many "long course" ARs if possible?

I also am not the biggest fan of edx's approach with many courses where there's a free track and paid track, where they limit access to some things in the free track. Especially when exactly what is limited varies from course to course.

I'd be in favour of adding The A11Y project as an additional resource, without the edx course. Since you specified you didn't want to work on this, I'll open this up for assignment.
