Shifting left, or: making accessibility easier by doing it earlier
Web accessibility is easier to achieve and maintain with the right tools. Some can help you make the right choices, others can find certain problems automatically. Sometimes they can do this even before your product or page ships!
In this talk, Hidde will give practical tips on the what, how and when of web accessibility. We’ll look at standards and how they affect people, tools and how they help us and ways to embed accessibility in your team.
