Accessibility for Beginners: Design for All from Day One
What does it take to design inclusive products and experiences for more people to use?
Whether you're building your first app, launching an MVP, or refining an existing product, accessibility is not just an afterthought or extra step, but crucial and central to the user experience.
From someone navigating with a screen reader to users with temporary injuries, dyslexia, or different ways of interacting with technology, accessibility embedded in design enables everyone to enjoy the virtual spaces we've created, regardless of circumstance.
Join us for a hands-on introduction to digital accessibility, where you'll experience how people interact with products using assistive technologies and learn practical techniques you can apply immediately.
This is the first workshop in the upcoming series. In this session, you will learn:
- What screen readers are and how they work
- Why supporting screen readers is great for your users and your business
- How to use a screen reader
- What common mistakes to avoid
Rather than focusing on compliance alone, we'll look at how accessibility leads to better products for everyone.
Whether you're a founder, designer, developer, or simply curious about accessibility, expect plenty of hands-on practice and insight, so that you'll leave with practical skills you can start using immediately.
