The benefits of an accessible website with a practical example

Accessible websites allow a wide range of people to consume and interact with the content on them. But despite many resources, tools and people actively pushing the issue, this topic is only a minor aspect in the tech industry.

The reasons for this are as numerous as they are varied. I myself attended a coding bootcamp and only realized in retrospect that I would have been better off putting the basics into practice if I had come into contact with the topic earlier.

This talk is not just for developers, but anyone who can identify with the idea that everyone can use websites without limitations. I will illustrate this with two websites that are visually almost identical, but differ greatly in their usability.

The differences will become especially clear if you try to navigate on them only with the keyboard or only with a screen reader. I will also show how to quickly and easily examine a website with selected browser tools.
