Accessibility Training for Developers
Our Accessibility Training for Developers focuses on teaching developers the core principles of accessible coding and development. This training ensures your team understands and implements WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards, making your websites and apps usable for people with disabilities.
- WCAG 2.1 Training: Learn how to apply WCAG 2.1 guidelines to your development projects, ensuring compliance with A, AA, or AAA levels.
- HTML, CSS, and ARIA Techniques: We cover the key accessibility techniques for creating clean, semantic HTML, accessible forms, keyboard navigation, and utilizing ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes.
- Testing for Accessibility: Understand how to use both automated tools and manual testing methods to evaluate the accessibility of your website or application.
- Framework-Specific Accessibility Training: Whether your team uses WordPress, Laravel, React, or other platforms, we offer framework-specific training to help you integrate accessibility best practices into your workflow.
Accessibility Training for Designers
Creating accessible designs from the start can save time, effort, and ensure inclusivity. Our Accessibility Training for Designers helps UI/UX designers understand how to build user interfaces that are both beautiful and accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.
- Color Contrast and Typography: Learn how to select accessible color combinations and typography that make content legible for users with visual impairments.
- Accessible UI/UX Design: Discover the best practices for creating navigable and easy-to-use interfaces, from logical flow and focus order to using alt text and descriptive links.
- Designing for Screen Readers: We teach designers how to create layouts that are optimized for screen readers, ensuring the flow of content is understandable and accessible.
- Creating Inclusive Forms: Learn how to design accessible forms, error messages, and interactive elements that accommodate users with disabilities, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards.
- WCAG Compliance for Designers: We break down WCAG guidelines for designers, providing actionable tips on how to build with accessibility in mind from the very beginning of the design process.
