Traditionally, web accessibility efforts concentrated on providing alternative text for images, employing proper heading structures, and ensuring videos were accompanied by captions. However, the landscape of web accessibility has evolved significantly since the U.S. 2021 Executive Order, which integrated Accessibility into Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (now DEIA) initiatives. This shift has heightened the focus on making websites universally accessible.
My goal is to demystify the process of enhancing your website's compliance with DEIA. This non-technical session is designed to guide attendees through the essential adjustments needed to embrace this broader perspective on accessibility. We'll explore the critical role of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and offer a glimpse into the forthcoming standard. Join me to learn how to make your website not only accessible but also inclusive, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.
