What we’re about
Making the web a better place for everyone.
This is a group for anyone interested in web accessibility (A11Y). Whether you're a UX designer, developer, project manager, or are simply curious about the value and impact web accessibility can have on your products and our community, we hope you'll join us.
A11Y Atlanta meets monthly to learn from seasoned professionals, network with local practitioners and share knowledge about this growing discipline. We'll focus our efforts on increasing education, sharing best practices, and generating awareness about the importance of accessibility and universal design.
Join us. Let's build a better web.

See all- Help Audit Non Profit Websites for AccessibilityNeeds location
Hello, Accessibility Atlanta Team. We have another great opportunity to provide accessibility auditing and coaching at the 48in48 Social Justice Event. Join hundreds of developers, designers, and digital content specialists who will come together and spend 48 hours building 48 websites for 48 deserving nonprofits. (That's an impressive goal – and we need you to help make it a reality.)
This is a virtual event, so you can sign up on the 48in48 website and join us from the comfort of your home or favorite coffee shop.
Here's the role we'll play: During the hours of 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM on Saturday, and again from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Sunday, we'll provide accessibility reviews and remediation recommendations to the project/design teams as they complete their website builds. A special Slack channel will be set up for us through which we'll schedule review sessions and host office hours to provide accessibility coaching.
To keep things simple, we will focus our reviews on a minimal number of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.x items. This will keep things understandable and actionable for project teams that may have limited (or zero) exposure to accessibility compliance before the event. It's a fantastic way to introduce people to the topic and to positively affect websites designed to support communities in need.
Please join us for this fun and impactful weekend. We need at least 20 volunteers to pull this off.NOTE: Please sign up on the 48in48 website in addition to RSVPing here on Meetup.
