For many web developers, accessibility is an afterthought, if they even think about it at all. What they fail to realize is that planning for accessibility from the beginning can actually enhance the design process rather than hindering it, with the end result will being more usable by everyone. This presentation will cover some common web accessibility techniques and show you how they can change the way you think about web design.
