Accessibility is about lifting barriers
Managing expectations
Accessibility is not a checklist –  it’s an ongoing commitment.
What is accessibility?  Why should I care?
Auditory Cognitive and neurological Visual Physical Speech All disabilities that affect access to the web
Auditory Cognitive and neurological Visual Physical Speech New web users Older people Low bandwidths Also, access for people who don’t have disabilities
Accessibility is the capacity of ANY user, regardless of ability or disability, to access the same content and information.
Accessibility and the law
“All decision-makers need to understand the legal reasons for designing accessibly, and the legal liability for ignoring the issue. This is especially important since ignorance of the law is not a defense.” - Cynthia Waddell
Canada Japan Korea USA Hong Kong Singapore Brazil Australia New Zealand Countries with accessible web design laws or policies
United Kingdom Ireland Denmark Sweden Portugal Norway Luxembourg Austria Germany France Holland Italy Belgium European countries with accessible web design laws or policies
Business advantages
Optimised mobile content Increased usability Direct cost savings Accessibility means business Less development time Wider clientele Search engine optimisation
Okay. We get it. What now?
Assessing user goals Briefing writers Testing content Managing change Sew accessibility into your content strategy processes
Evangelise accessibility
Content strategists are modern storytellers
