Enhancing the User Experience for People with Disabilities: Top 10 Web Accessibility Issues

Enhancing the User Experience for People with Disabilities:

Top 10 Web Accessibility Issues

An estimated 1.3 billion people globally report limitations in their daily activities due to a disability. When it comes to the physical world, businesses have made progress in accommodating customers with disabilities. But in the digital world, websites lack basic accessibility features such as text alternatives describing images, proper heading level structures so individuals who are blind and use screen readers can understand the content on a webpage, or captioning for multimedia content for individuals who are deaf or are hard of hearing – let alone assistive technology for customers who have trouble using mobile devices due to dexterity limitations that arise from a variety of conditions.

In this session, attendees will:

  • Understand people with disabilities (PWDs) and how they use the web
  • Learn about common barriers, issues and solutions
  • Discover the different testing methodologies and their interdependencies
  • Uncover ROI
