SUMMARY:Web Accessibility is Not An Option
DESCRIPTION:In the early days of the internet\, web accessibility – the commitment to make website information more accessible to those with disabilities – was an objective for many developers and designers. However\, it was rarely a priority and was usually treated as “nice-to-have” functionality in most industries. \nThose days are long gone. \nDue to recent federal court rulings\, organizations and companies are increasingly at risk of lawsuits over their websites’ failures to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. As a result\, the number of cases filed each year over website accessibility has increased more than 700 percent since 2016\, and the flood gates may open further with several high-profile cases on tap.The good news is that\, with the right mindset and a few basic strategies\, your website can significantly reduce this risk and open your website to a broader audience. \nEmbracing compliance and accessibility helps more than just adhering to regulations though. Acknowledging the different types of audiences that are out there help us to become better planners\, better developers and better designers. \nIn this webinar\, Unleashed Technologies Creative Director Matt Curtin and Digital Delivery Manager Ann-Marie Gnall explore the growing importance of accessibility\, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards\, varying levels of compliance\, and how development and design can create a digital presence that engages all of your visitors. \n
