Introduction to Website Accessibility

October 3, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT

$75.00 – $145.00

Self-Paced Learning

Many people have difficulty understanding what is meant by ‘website accessibility’ and how this is achieved. This webinar will give you an understanding of how people with various disabilities access your website and how websites can be made accessible. You will learn about the background and theory of website accessibility, how accessibility effects visitors to your site, and what changes you can immediately make to increase the accessibility of your website.

1 in 7 people currently have a disability and this is expected to rise to 1 in 5 by 2036 as the population ages. By having an accessible website, you are including people with disabilities – whether they be clients, employees, or the public. By understanding accessibility issues and the strategies to tackle them, your organization can communicate more effectively while complying with legal and moral responsibilities.

Who should attend this webinar

Anyone who is responsible for website design and development, content creation, and content posting, as well as anyone who oversees the work of such staff. This includes all Executive Directors/CEOs, Communication Managers, Document Creators, Communication or Accessibility Coordinators, Website Content Managers,  Marketing Managers, Administrative Assistants.

“Great webinar on the difference types of the accessibility and options to interact. I knew of some of these but to hear about all of them, and how they can affect everyone, was very insightful. We often think of ways we can include everyone but, by doing that, we may also exclude others. This webinar has a wealth of knowledge that was presented with examples to show how we need to be better.”

“The course did a great job of opening up the idea of why accessibility is important; for me personality I often tout the idea of digital accessibility but struggle with defining and working around it so having it first relayed to something physical, then how that can impact digital spaces was eye opening.”

  • Website accessibility and factors that create barriers
  • How people will disabilities use assistive technologies to navigate the internet

“This was a great intro. I learned new things even though I already knew a bit about accessibility.”

“Clear, easy to understand and a good pace. I loved the examples. Perfect for anyone wanting to learn the fundamentals or get a refresher.”

“The course was clearly presented and the real-world examples helped to make the content more concrete.”
