The Art of Accessible Apps - Building a Web for Everyone

We will explore the critical importance of web accessibility and gain insights into actionable solutions for building inclusive web applications.

The digital landscape has become an integral part of modern life, offering convenience, information, and services at individuals' fingertips. However, it's crucial to recognise that not everyone experiences the digital realm in the same way. The focus of this presentation is to shed light on web accessibility, aiming to ensure that individuals with disabilities can seamlessly navigate, comprehend, and interact with online content without encountering barriers.

Part 1 - The Why
Priti Rohra will take us through the "why" of web accessibility through lived experiences. Through this we will discuss the moral, legal, and business perspectives.

Part 2 - The How
Rutuja Patil and Shreya Kamble will then dive into the 'How' of building accessible web applications. They will provide practical solutions and strategies for building accessible web apps, with insights into a range of practices, from employing semantic HTML to ensuring keyboard navigation, incorporating descriptive alternative text for images, managing focus elements effectively, and conducting comprehensive accessibility testing.
