How to embed accessibility into your workflow

Digital accessibility doesn't have to be a daunting voyage. Let us be your guide. In this workshop, we'll break down the technical barriers and provide you with the practical knowledge to navigate accessibility with confidence.

Go beyond basic compliance. This advanced accessibility workshop provides a practical demonstration of the issues and how to resolve them — empowering you to become a true accessibility champion. We'll delve into advanced ARIA implementation, share actionable technical tips, and equip you with the skills to elevate your projects beyond WCAG conformance.

Review of the following technical areas of accessibility:

  • Language
  • Meta titles
  • Landmark regions
  • Skip links
  • Focus
  • Forms
  • Images
  • Tables
  • Link text & button labels
  • Navigation (breadcrumbs, modal and drop down)
  • Focus traps
  • Duplicate links (caused by breadcrumb navigation, logos)
  • Reduced motion and animations
  • High contrast mode
  • Roving tab index
  • ARIA roles

We will also take a look at how to use a screenreader and discuss strategies to build accessibility into your workflow.

Automated scanners identify only about 30% of accessibility issues, so mastering manual testing techniques is crucial for your team to build truly accessible products.

What will your team will gain?

A greater awareness of the common accessibility trip points and knowledge on how to detect and remedy issues. Armed with this knowledge they will move forward with the confidence that they can remove the barriers experienced by many users and build more accessible products.

It was really informative. Good to know that at least I've been shooting in the right direction when I've been testing keyboard and screen readers. I think it's given a really good grounding for the team to move forward, especially the developers. They can consider this when they are working.
