The Great Accessibility Bake Off

About this presentation

<span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s always better to bake in accessibility from the very beginning of your project than tack it on after the fact. Making accessibility decisions up front in your web app can save your users a lot of frustration and save you a lot of development time. But how do you know what to bake in, how to mix it all together, and whether you’re doing it right?</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">In this talk we’ll look at the key ingredients of web accessibility — including semantic HTML, mindful color palettes, keyboard interactivity, and a dash of ARIA — and discuss some tried-and-true recipes for accessible web development. We’ll also knead through technically challenging accessibility feats like complex interactive widgets and drag-and-drop to achieve more inclusive interaction patterns. With these techniques in your back pocket, making an accessible website will be a piece of cake.</span>
