💻Website Accessibility: Creating a more inclusive Internet through design & dev
Details
Recent Census statistics reveal over 57 million Americans have physical, mental, visual, or hearing disabilities; these impairments impact their ability to enjoy the Internet. Join SDXD in welcoming local thought leaders Angela and Cris Noble of Noble Intent Studio and authors of The Ultimate Guide to Website Accessibility for our June event!
Building accessible websites ensures usability by the broadest number of people. Beyond the ethical benefits, having an accessible website also drives business success – resulting in protection from lawsuits around ADA compliance, improving user experience, and boosting SEO.
During this interactive workshop, you’ll learn:
📈 Why website accessibility matters and the impact it has on business bottom lines
👍 How to design and build inclusive websites to provide a better user experience
💻 How to implement simple changes to create websites that can be
accessed by people of all abilities – ensuring usability for assistive technologies, ADA compliance, and SEO best practices
When a website’s content is available to everyone and can be used by anyone — regardless of their ability — website accessibility is achieved.
Join us in helping to create a more inclusive internet one website at a time!

Cris gained experience as a web developer for seven years rising through the software engineering ranks at both startups such as Classy.org and Fortune 500 companies such as Intuit before joining Noble Intent Studio full-time in 2019.
