Foundations of Accessible Web Design

via Pluralsight

Overview

The web was created for everyone, but you don't have to be an accessibility expert to make your site accessible. This course will help you attain the knowledge and skills to meet web accessibility guidelines and make your site accessible to all users.

If you are a web designer or developer, the work you produce must be accessible to all users. In this course, Foundations of Accessible Web Design, you will get hands-on, practical examples that you can start using today towards your goal of meeting official accessibility guidelines. First, you’ll learn about the 5 main disability types and the barriers the web can present. Next, you’ll understand the difference between laws and conformance guidelines. Finally, you'll dive into real-world examples and match them to relevant guidelines in order to ensure everyone can perceive, interact, and understand what you create. After finishing this course, not only will you be equipped to acquire government/education-related contracts, but you'll be able to make sites that meet established accessibility conformance guidelines and are more usable for everyone.
