Lessons From Making Millions of Websites More Accessible

Making the internet a good experience for everyone is hard, but there are some additional challenges you face when users don’t fit the usual stereotypes.  Accessibility is the term used to describe making the web usable for those with disabilities. After my session you’ll be able to answer the following questions:

  • What is accessibility?
  • What are the standards you need to care about?
  • How does it matter to your business?
  • How do you get organization buy-in for prioritizing it?
  • How do you institutionalize accessibility?
