    Website Accessibility for Everyone

    Wednesday, November 3, 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm CDT

    Websites are considered accessible when all visitors - regardless of physical or developmental abilities or impairments - can access the presented information. Web accessibility is a broad term that refers to a series of international standards that define website usability and how websites can be usable to all visitors.

    In this workshop, we will explore:

    • The fundamentals of web accessibility
    • The kinds of user-related issues that need to be considered
    • Regulations, laws, and standards surrounding web accessibility design
    • Tools and technologies used for better accessibility design
    • Content and design best practices and techniques
