Authoring Accessible Content
A full-day training about authoring accessible content! Bring our very own Accessibility Analyst to your desktop for a session on creating accessible content for web sites.
More users, easier to maintain code, and support accessibility requirements
In this workshop, Emily Lewis demonstrates how semantic HTML is the foundation for websites and an integral part of digital accessibility.
She’ll share examples of the most common accessibility problems, and how semantic HTML solves those problems — without any advanced coding knowledge or using bulky frameworks.
Emily will also demonstrate keyboard-only interactions and screen-reader announcements, so you can see and hear first-hand how semantic HTML allows people of all abilities to better interact with your content.
You’ll learn semantic and accessible HTML design patterns for common site content:
- Headings
- Lists
- UI controls
- Forms
- Data tables
- Images, video, and audio
And how these semantic patterns can be extended into building accessible interactive components with the addition of simple ARIA, CSS, and JS:
- Disclosures
- Accordions
- Tabs
- Dialogs
You’ll also learn about the power of semantic HTML beyond accessibility:
- Lean code for faster page performance
- Standardized code for quicker development
- Human-readable code for easier maintenance
- Machine-readable code for better SEO
Build a strong foundation for accessibility, speed, and SEO by developing with semantic HTML!
Workshop Takeaways
- Lean code for faster page performance
