      • Make a clear separation between layout and structure
      • Respect the order of elements
      • Degrade gracefully for browsers without javascript
      • Write understandably, make scannable pages
      • Test for color blindness, use redundant methods (icons, color, text)
    21. Benefits of focusing on a11y
      • Open your site to a larger audience
      • > 10% of the population has reading difficulties, aging population
      • It’s easier for users with little or no prerequisite knowledge and inexperienced surfers
      • Impact on external findability and searchability
      • 34% faster navigation for all users
      • Lower digital divide
      • Extra cost: 5 - 15% for a standard website project
    22. Conclusions
      • Accessibility does not mean unattractive design
      • Accessibility is for a large group of people, not only for visually impaired visitors
      • Part of user friendliness
      • Not rocket science
      • Possible for applications too
      • All users benefit from it
