WHY ACCESSIBLE WEBSITES MATTER
The Internet is vital for many day-to-day activities. Yet most websites and apps are not accessible, excluding large segments of users. As over 1 billion people worldwide have some form of disability, this is a huge problem, not just for users but for businesses who are missing out on untold billions in potential profit. Globally, users demand inclusive digital experiences, and in many countries, digital accessibility is a legal requirement. Reputationally, ethically, and financially, it’s crucial for businesses to be more inclusive. Those unable to keep up will simply fall behind. This workshop will give you the blueprint for designing and building accessible digital platforms. Presenting best practice and techniques you can apply to embed inclusive design into your own projects, delivering both brilliant user experience and improved ROI.
THE WORKSHOP WILL COVER:
- Identifying accessibility problems: how to pinpoint and address key challenges.
- Understanding your audience: conducting user interviews and other methods for gathering insights.
- Designing for inclusion: best practice and important considerations, following the principles of inclusive design.
- Testing: the fundamentals of accessibility testing and creating your strategy.
All attendees will receive a certificate from Cyber-Duck’s Digital Training Academy to show they understand the basics of designing for inclusivity.
