Most websites aren’t intentionally inaccessible — but that doesn’t stop them from excluding people every day. In this session, we’ll explore how common design and content decisions quietly create barriers, why accessibility belongs at the beginning of your planning process (not the end), and how thinking about access earlier leads to stronger, more effective websites for everyone.

Learning Opportunities:

• Accessibility is a planning decision – how to start thinking about it earlier to create success at the end.
• Accessibility helps everyone – designing and developing for the edges makes for clarity and good design
• Usability = finished. The work doesn’t stop on website launch day
