Accessibility: Benefits Beyond Compliance - Kitty Chan

Описание: Many people find the whole concept of web accessibility intimidating, but we’re here to show you that it can be approachable and rewarding (not to mention, necessary).

In this talk I’ll discuss the real risks website owners, designers, and developers face when they overlook accessibility.

Ignoring these issues can lead to lost opportunities and frustrated users, and we want to help you avoid that. It’s crucial to educate ourselves and implement accessible practices in our projects, and I’ll share why it’s worth the effort, and how you can get started.

By the end of our session, you’ll have a practical plan for how you can start tracking, testing and improving accessibility on your own projects, and I’ll provide a bunch of tips and resources to help you create more inclusive websites.

Let’s work together to make the web a better place for everyone!
