We cannot stress enough how important it is to take accessibility into account when working on your web project. Because every user deserves the best experience on the web. Global Accessibility Awareness Day is dedicated to (digital) accessibility and is a great way to learn more about it. Over 100 interesting events are being organised and yes: that’s quite a lot! That’s why we selected three events that we think complement our own online courses on Web Accessibility very well:
- Design for Conversions by Design for Conversions: Free from the 17th – 20th of May
Watch the conference that teaches you how to improve your sales by design. Over 15 industry expert sessions teaching you how to increase your conversions, be more productive and multiply your earning potential by putting people first. - Translating Design Wireframes into Accessible HTML/CSS by Deque: Live, 2-day workshop on Tuesday, May 18th from 11:30AM – 2:30PM ET and Wednesday, May 19th from 11:30AM – 2:30PM ET
In celebration of this year’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), Deque (LINK) is offering a free 2-day virtual workshop (6 total hours) for front-end developers and designers seeking practical accessibility skills that you can apply on the job. Attendees should be comfortable with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and have a basic understanding of what accessibility is. - Blending Accessibility into User Experience by Blink: May 20, 5:30PM to May 21, 5:30PM CEST
This complimentary event includes discussions with many of the Blink staff about how they blend accessibility into their roles. They’ll look at case studies of their accessibility work through the lens of researchers, designers, developers, program managers and testers.
