Checklists, standards, and even patterns can only make sure that basic rules are followed. Even products that meet standards can be difficult or even impossible to use.
But the questions we want to focus on are:
- How easy, useful, efficient, and delightful is this?
- Is this something people want to use?
- Is it a great experience?
Presentation at IAAP 2015, October 22, 2015
With increased complaints and legal action for organisations of inaccessible websites (Coles, Peapod) and apps (Westpac), now is the time for all web and app Project Managers, Developers, UX/Designers, Content Producers, Business Analysts and Testers to be ‘baking in’ accessibility into processes and work practices.
This presentation will show that accessibility is everyone’s responsibility and it is not difficult to get started or find resources that will help you and your team produce a website, app or digital presence that works for everyone!
User experience is complex and multifaceted. One of those facets is making services usable to people in different situations. The needs of people with disabilities, both apparent and not, must be considered on our mobile and web platforms if we are to provide good service and abide by federal and state regulations. Cervone looks at some of the common accessibility issues people may have with mobile sites and websites and how to address those issues while still creating a visually stimulating and interactive environment for all.
An introduction to the concept of Web Accessibility describing the What, Why and How of making your website accessible i.e. available to users with disabilities such as color blindness, low vision, deafness and/or motor control disability.
A Web for Everyone: Accessibility as a design challengeWhitney Quesenbery
Let's get past the idea that checklists and compliance all there is to accessibility. Designing for accessibility is a user experience design problem, starting with understanding how people with disabilities use your products. If we aim to design for all senses we can focus on easy interaction, helpful wayfinding, clean presentation, plain language and media instead of "rules." Doing so, we can create a web for everyone and a delightful user experience where accessibility and usability work together.

The terms UI and UX (design) are very often and
used as a single term by many people or designers.
The first thing we need to know straight is that UI
and UX are not the same.
Design is a rather broad and huge term. When
someone says “I’m a designer,” it is not that clear
what they actually do. There are a number of
different responsibilities term designer. There are
many aspects of design now a days.
This presentation will help you understand:
- The legal requirements behind Web Accessibility
- How do people with disabilities use the web and what assistive technologies they use
- How good usability makes up for better accessibility and improves site’ SEO
- Financial benefits of having an accessible website
Accessibility is not a rare edge case, it is something that concerns all of us. This is an introduction to Web Accessibility for Web Developers, in context of the German BITV and the international WAI Guidelines (mostly WCAG 2.0). It should raise general awareness of accessibility for Web Development, and shows that accessibility is not an extreme hard to implement requirement, but a matter of care and common sense.
Accessibility Testing Using Screen ReadersRabab Gomaa
Testing websites using screen readers gives web developers the opportunity to make a real evaluation of their code and help identify accessibility issues that could be missed in manual checkup, or neglected by automatic verification tools.
In this session we will demonstrate how blind people navigate the web and will show how to use screen readers for accessibility testing of web pages including interactive components and web forms.
Understanding and Supporting Web AccessibilityRachel Cherry
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites by people with disabilities. When your website is accessible, all users can access your content and functionality no matter their abilities. Visually-impaired users can visit your website using a screen reader. Those who can’t use a mouse can navigate your site using a keyboard or other input device. Most accessibility features will also improve your SEO.
When your site is inaccessible, research shows you could be excluding up to 20 percent of your users.
This talk will cover the basics of accessibility, why it’s important, and how you can support accessibility in your projects.
Learn about the basics of web accessibility: what it is, who it affects, why it matters, and some of the fundamental things you ought to be doing in your pages to make them more accessible.
UX is omnipresent nowadays and will grow more and more the tool of innovation. Companies are becoming aware of the vitality of adopting this technology from the start. The Importance of UX is a presentation of how we as a UX Design Team implement UX in projects.

aria-live: the good, the bad and the uglyRuss Weakley
Almost all web sites and web applications today are heavily reliant on JavaScript to provide rich interactions for the user. But how can we make these interactions accessible for assistive technologies such as screen readers? The answer is WAI-ARIA – and in many cases, the aria-live property. The presentation will explore the use of WAI-ARIA and the aria-live property to alert screen readers to changes in the DOM. The presentation will also look at support for aria-live across various screen readers and how the property can be most effectively used today.

What does it take to get from barrier-free to delightful experiences?
Meeting basic accessibility requirements is a critical first step. But let’s dream bigger. Let’s aim for accessible UX – great user experience for everyone. Creating innovations that include a more diverse range of interaction styles, and designs that are both inclusive and delightful starts by bringing together the whole team — from content to code. It means thinking about people, not just technology. It means finding allies and partners, new ways of working, making our tools really usable, and helping everyone manage change.

In recognition of Global Accessibility Awareness Day on May 21, 2015, this presentation for Code for San Francisco introduces an accessibility strategy to involve the entire team, including user experience, in creating an inclusive, improved experience for everyone:
- Allow everyone to own accessibility
- Empower the team with education
- Share a vocabulary
- Integrate accessibility into your brand
- Institute accessibility into your culture
- Build accessibility into your Content Management System (CMS)
Well before development, there are many opportunities for other team members to integrate accessibility into product planning, content and design. The presentation also takes a closer look at how the content team can be a greater accessibility ally and resource.

Designing for difference: Are you failing at the most important design challengeWhitney Quesenbery
There is no such thing as a “typical user.” People may have similar goals or jobs to get done, but they bring differences in preferences, knowledge, language, interaction style, and perspectives. Broadening our vision to design for differences is a conscious act of innovation. It starts with embracing the tools of accessibility, plain language, and language access for modern, responsive design. And broadening our research and testing to include the full diversity of our audiences. If you aren’t designing for difference, ask yourself who are you leaving out.
At the Center for Civic Design, we’ve learned that designing democracy requires changing our practice and how we approach our work. As one project partner put it, “If all we do is make it a little easier for people who already vote, we have failed.” From voter guides to ballots, the goal of our work is to expand civic engagement and participation - including everyone, with all their differences

Presentation at edUI
Understanding our users starts from user research. But the complexities of the user patterns, behaviors, perceptions, and motivations can be hard to communicate in ways that help the team really understand the mindset of their audience.
Stories let us shape research data into compelling narratives that build empathy and engage teams in the user journey and see both research insights and problems user experience through the eyes of your users.
Presentation at UX Camp Copenhagen, May 2018
We all love our user research data… but why is it such a struggle to use the insights we uncover to create direction for our project? Storytelling is the missing link, getting past charts and graphs to dig into data. Whitney will show how stories put research insights into context, communicate the entire user journey, show problems through the eyes of your users, and help you ask better questions to gain deeper insights.
Presentation at the IA Summit 2017
Why can’t we make it easier to be accessible?
Why can’t we aim for great user experiences that are also accessible? Creating accessible technology has to go beyond minimal compliance with standards that meets the law but may not be usable.
We need a bigger goal: creating delight for everyone. We’ll start by exploring what makes a delightful experience and how a good balance small pleasures and anticipated needs supports accessible UX in both big and small ways. Like any UX, this concern for users has to be part of every design decision.
But we also need to think about what it takes to make this happen. It means incorporating a wider range of people into user research and usability testing, and making accessibility a core requirement, not an afterthought. But most of all, it takes tools that are designed to support accessibility. We’ll look at some of the progress… and some of the failures that hold us back.

A library for everyone - Designing for Digital, Austin 2017
All of the tools and principles of an excellent user experience also support accessibility, just as web design that is responsive to diversity of devices is also responsive to a diversity of human needs.
One of the simplest ways to make information more accessible is to add alternative text (alt text for short). It’s brief descriptions of images for users who can’t see them. But what to write? This is a deep dive into writing alt text that is usable and useful. You’ll learn how the right words can make images speak clearly.
Updated for AccessU and AccessU Summit 2017
You went to a lot of trouble to put that content online. Plain language will help your audience find it, understand it and use it. Writing clearly makes information more accessible – and usable – for people who don’t read well, are reading in a second language, or are listening to the text. That means better informed users, happier customers, and fewer angry support calls.
Updated for AccessU 2017
Long descriptions of images are in the speaker notes
Is it usable for people with disabilities?
We know a lot about how to meet the checkpoints for accessibility, but how well do you understand what makes a good experience for people with disabilities? Only getting out and seeing how people use your product will help you understand what makes it a delight to use --- or a pain. User research and usability testing should be part of your accessible UX toolkit.
Instead of trying to reduce the chaos of complexity, we can embrace it.
Instead of thinking about designing for a narrow middle of the curve, we embrace the full spectrum....from the beginning.
We can make accessibility part of innovation, not just designing products for people with disabilities but in constructing our world. We can think about how new technology can -- and does -- change society. And how we can find inspiration in extreme needs that can change the our experience.
Usability testing: rapid results when you need them. Have a question about whether a new feature or design idea works for users? It’s easy to find out early, so your design process is as responsive as your code. We'll look at ways to run quick usability test, how to find users in the wild, and when to add it to your project plan. Yes, it can be fast, good, and cheap.

Every study starts with a question. This session at CSUN 2014 started by examining the questions that usability testing can answer. Short case studies illustrate how the right technique will help us know not only what is happening but also why it’s happening. It's an overview of usability testing as a research method, and what you can (and can’t) learn from working with real people as they try to use a web site or other product.
Accessibility as Innovation: Creating accessible user experiencesWhitney Quesenbery
Designing a web for everyone is a conscious act of innovation. Instead of focusing on barriers, we can put people first for delightful user experiences.
Presentation on how usability and accessibility problems are related. Including people with disabilities in usability testing can reveal deeper insights into the kinds of problems users might encounter
Persona Stories: Weaving together quant & qual for a richer pictureWhitney Quesenbery
Stories have power to add empathy and connection to our work. They can help us learn about people, culture, and context—why, when, and how our products might be used—and share this with a design team. Stories permeate UX techniques from user stories to storyboards. They come to full power when used with personas: the persona provides a fully envisioned lead character for the story, a perspective through which interactions can be explored, and a voice for the emotional reactions to design ideas.
Creating stories for personas is a craft. They are not fiction, but are grounded in the data and user research that informs the persona. They are not fact, but are imagined events, shaped to explore possibilities. They are realistic, but not perhaps real, because they represent not just one individual or event, but something that might happen, and that provides insights into a user experience.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

7 Alternatives to Bullet Points in PowerPointAlvis Oh
So you tried all the ways to beautify your bullet points on your pitch deck but it just got way uglier. These points are supposed to be memorable and leave a lasting impression on your audience. With these tips, you'll no longer have to spend so much time thinking how you should present your pointers.
Almost all of the most common – and basic – accessibility problems can be found through inspection.
There are a few tools that are useful – accessibility testing tools can help automate the process, for example checking for alt text, and testing the contrast.
One of the heuristics is that you can catch a relatively low percentage of a11y problems (about 20-30%) with automated tools. But that just makes it even more ridiculous that they exist at all.
The next round of testing looks at the robustness of the code. Just as in web development in general, there is a strong movement towards standards-based code in a11y. Instead of catering to AT, we are starting to expect AT to meet code ina robust standard.
These tests can also be done without using any special AT, by inspecting the code, or working through the pages with keyboard alone.
Next, you need to actually check the site with assistive technology. In general, you can look at three basic types of AT.
For bonus points, you might look at Braille note readers, because (a) they are common and (b) they are critical to the deaf-blind (and they might be one of the more common types of personal AT we might see at a polling place)
These examples are drawn from our experiences doing usability testing. Although we show partial screens from real site, these are simply typical problems, and not unique to those sites.
In most cases, these companies are actively working on both usability and accessibility, and some of the issues described in this presentation have already been fixed.
Observing behavior:
How people use the site or app
How easily they meet their goals
What causes confusion or problems
Quietly
Don't explain or demo.
Watch what they do.
Listen to their comments.
Take their problems seriously.
Use the results to inform design
