How to create accessible websites - WordCamp BostonRachel 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 inaccessible, research shows you could be excluding up to 20 percent of your visitors and customers. When your website is accessible, everyone can consume your information and interact with you and your services. 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. Designing with accessibility in mind will also improve your SEO. Join my workshop to learn more about accessibility, the importance of universal design, and how to create a high-quality user experience that is inclusive and beneficial to all.
Did you know, nearly 1 in 5 people have disabilities in the U.S. alone? Do you know how to tell if your website is fully accessible to everyone, even those with disabilities?
In this webinar you will learn what web accessibility is, and how to make sure your website is usable by all your constituents, including those with disabilities.
Speakers: Brenda Miele, Creative Director, Charity Dynamics, Adam Kaye, Web Development Manager, Charity Dynamics
• How do individuals with disabilities interact with and use the web? Understanding how assistive technologies work.
• Understanding your legal requirements - Section 508, Section 504, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other state, U.S., and international laws
• Evaluating web site accessibility - automated tools, user testing, using screen readers, and understanding the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0
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.
Including Everyone: Web Accessibility 101Helena Zubkow
Shouldn’t the web be awesome for everyone? That's not always the case, but it could be.
Designed for developers, project managers, and directors alike, the goal of this session is to introduce everyone to the wonderful world of web accessibility. We'll cover the basic standards and regional expectations for accessibility, as well as the principles and concepts that make up the accessibility field. This session will touch on Section 508, WCAG 2.0 standards, and the financial viability of a web accessibility initiative in an industry where time is money.
This session is proposed as a conceptual prelude to our more developer-oriented accessibility session that is taking place at the Higher Ed Summit. Based on my experience as a web accessibility specialist from both the perspective of a project manager and a front-end developer, I'll share the knowledge I've gained with you to address the following important questions:
- What is web accessibility?
- Why does web accessibility matter to my users?
- Why does web accessibility matter for my company and clients?
- How will a web accessibility initiative affect my bottom line?
- How can I include web accessibility in my company's culture and work plans?
- What tools can I use to assess and improve accessibility in my projects?
- How can I help the web accessibility community?

The Intersection of Accessibility and Inclusive DesignMichael Larsen
Accessibility and Inclusive Design are complementary initiatives. One makes information and services available to as many people as possible with the use of additional technology where needed. Inclusive Design focuses on making information and services available to as many as possible without having to use external technology. By blending these two initiatives, we can develop software that works better for everyone.

Marketing Without Barriers: Considering Digital Accessibility for Customers a...Whole Brain Group, LLC
There are 57 million Americans living with a disability, and many of these people need to use assistive technology to interact with websites and digital marketing materials. If your website and marketing materials aren't created properly, they won't be compatible with these devices, and you could be unintentionally excluding customers who would otherwise like to buy from you. You can also be at risk for legal liability if you're in an industry that is subject to accessibility compliance regulations.
This talk illustrates why businesses and marketers should be thinking about accessibility when they develop marketing plans and launch digital campaigns.

UXPA2019 Enhancing the User Experience for People with Disabilities: Top 10 ...UXPA International
An estimated 1.3 billion people globally report limitations in their daily activities due to a disability. When it comes to the physical world, businesses have made progress in accommodating customers with disabilities.

In this session, attendees will:
* Understand people with disabilities (PWDs) and how they use the web
* Learn about common barriers, issues and solutions
* Discover the different testing methodologies and their interdependencies

Justin’s visual acuity is currently 20/1200 although he has all of his peripheral vision
Justin is an avid BMX rider, outdoorsman and aspiring photographer. Almost every skill he has acquired or enhanced since his vision loss has been aided by the computer.
Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web.

according to the World Health Organization the Blind and visually impaired make up [ 285,000,000 ] people
with [ 39,000,000 ] categorized as legally blind and the remaining [ 246,000,000 ] visually impaired.
Deaf and hearing impaired make up [ 275,000,000 ] (2004) in the moderate-to-profound hearing impairment category.
To put these in perspective, the population of the United States of America is [ 315,000,000 ] (January 2013).

Obviously, the main benefactors are those with vision or hearing issues, or who have
physical limitations.
Also, it’s important to remember that not everyone who is disabled has been disabled forever or will remain disabled.
(my ‘mouse arm’ is a good example) How many of you have had a long coding session and have arm/shoulder problems as a result.
A website that is accessible for the disabled often gains the benefit of becoming easier to use for everyone

What if I told you that the WCAG 2.0 recommendation by the W3C is 36 pages, printed?
In addition, “How to Meet WCAG 2.0″ is 44 pages and
“Understanding WCAG 2.0″ 230 pages.
the accompanying Techniques and Failures for WCAG 2.0 is 780 pages, printed.
A simple test you can do is this:
Unplug your mouse and/ or turn off your trackpad
1. Can you interact with all controls, links, and menus using only the keyboard?
2. Can you see what item has focus at all times?
3. Does the visual focus order match the intended interaction order?

There are 2,764 themes in the WordPress theme repository
How many themes are marked as accessible ready?
Ask the question, does anyone have any idea?

Do not use text formatting, such as font size or bold to give the visual appearance of headings - use actual heading
You can use css to change the appearance of your text
Heading elements for structure MAY be positioned off-screen as long as this is not at the expense of providing good, visual, structure.
http://webaim.org/techniques/semanticstructure/#contentstructure
Bare urls must NOT be used as links. Context-specific text MAY be positioned off-screen.
The core-defined ‘read more’ links fall under this guideline.
You can use filters to replace these links.
The post title should generally be used in addition to the normal directive text.
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
something other than a link or form control (such as a <div> or <span>) is programmed with scripting to perform an action.
Scripted elements
Lengthy navigation (use skip links)
See Links are not buttons; neither are divs and spans for detailed information.
Background/foreground color contrast also applies to change of state (:focus or :hover) if there is no additional indicator of :focus or :hover, such as a text decoration change.
The default settings will be the only color scheme checked. If a theme offers multiple color schemes, only the default scheme is required to pass these guidelines. Alternative themes should be clearly labeled if they do not meet accessibility guidelines.
http://leaverou.github.io/contrast-ratio/
MAY be positioned off screen initially but MUST be available to screen reader users and MUST be visible on focus for sighted keyboard navigators.
A minimally conforming skip link MUST:
Be the first focusable element perceived by a user via screen reader or keyboard navigation.
Be visible when keyboard focus moves to the link.
Move focus to the main content area of the page when activated.
If you are using the default WordPress comment or search forms, these pass the accessibility-ready criteria.
Forms that include a single input (such as a standard search form) may, optionally, position the input label offscreen.
Themes that incorporate non-standard forms (e.g. a contact form) will be audited using the same criteria.
Adding alternative text for images is the first principle of web accessibility. It is also one of the most difficult to properly implement.
the W3C alt text decision tree is used to determine whether images are using the alt attribute appropriately.
http://dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/#tree
This includes resources such as audio, video, or image/content sliders and carousels.
In general, media resources of this nature are likely to fall under the plugin territory guidelines, and will not be allowed in your theme.
If you have a conforming usage, however, these rules will apply.
Negative or zero value tabindex is allowed in specific circumstances (assessed on a case-by-case basis).
The accesskey attribute allows the user to activate a control on a page using a keyboard shortcut
Generally speaking, browsers do not provide any indication to users that an accesskey attribute is defined on the link, which is a big issue with the accesskey. Most commonly, the accesskey value is indicated within a title attribute, but this solution still relies on the user mousing over the element to which the accesskey is applied.
