Digital accessibility is not achieved by simply implementing standards, it is the outcome of a process rooted in usability and digital inclusion.
Whether you’re starting a full redesign, or are trying to improve on a legacy website, different processes can be put in place to help you better serve your audiences' ongoing needs. This talk will provide tools and tactics that can apply to organizations of all sizes and budgets, no matter how small.
We will answer questions such as:
* I feel like I’ve done my best; what more can be done?
* How do you implement accessibility considerations in every step of a redesign?
* How can internal teams be confident they are following best practices in accessibility?
* How can I ensure my site stays accessible long-term and that content editors are part of the solution?
* How can external experts help, even when your internal team is already focused on building an accessible website?
* What takes place during an accessibility audit, why is it important, and how can it be scaled to fit your organization’s size and budget?
* What makes for a good moderated user testing program?
* How can accessibility be championed internally and become part of an organization's culture?
