Accessibility ensures that your website is usable by everyone, including people with disabilities, and it’s more relevant than ever. But if your site was built to meet WCAG 2.0 guidelines years ago, chances are it’s no longer fully compliant with current standards.
In this session, we’ll cover what accessibility means and why it matters, then dive into the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2. You’ll learn the major differences between each version, and how the updates address mobile usability, cognitive disabilities, and more.
We’ll also discuss how to plan and execute an upgrade of your site from WCAG 2.0 to 2.1 and 2.2. This includes understanding new requirements, estimating effort, running automated and manual tests, prioritising fixes, and aligning your development and design teams.
Finally, we’ll highlight common mistakes teams make while implementing accessibility and share actionable strategies to avoid them. Whether you’re a developer, tester, designer, or project manager, this session will give you the knowledge and confidence to make your site more inclusive and compliant.
