Digital accessibility is the practice of making products — such as websites and apps — accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. But accessibility is often an afterthought at the end of a project when a user submits a bug or when legal issues arise — if it is thought of at all.
In this workshop, Carie will walk through the process of creating accessible front-end components from design to development. Throughout the workshop sessions, we will rely on accessibility best practices/guidelines and utilize testing tools and techniques at each step of the product development lifecycle.
While digital accessibility can be difficult or frustrating to many people, it doesn’t have to be. By learning front-end techniques, utilizing targeted accessibility tools, and making small changes to your everyday workflow, you can make the digital world more inclusive — without crushing your creativity or sacrificing your sanity!
We will focus on the areas in front-end components that impact your users most — whether you are writing HTML/ARIA, CSS, or JavaScript. The attendees will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of digital accessibility and resources to get started designing and building accessible components of their own.
