Session: Don't Develop Just for Yourself - A Developer's Checklist to Accessibility

Developer, are you (unconsciously) developing sites for users just like yourself? It often means a sighted mouse user with good fine motor skills and who is proficient with computers. But not every user is like that.

Many projects have automated accessibility checkers, and that is a good start. However, they don't catch most of the failures on accessibility. There are some fairly simple checks to ensure a better experience for your users, and from this talk, you'll learn how to do them and, most importantly, why they are essential to do.


Premium Members, Ticket Holders, Speakers and recognized Global Ambassadors can watch this content once logged in.


Key Takeaways

  • Why automated accessibility testing is not enough to create accessible websites
  • How to do some easy manual checks to ensure better accessibility of the web app
  • Why these checks matter, and what's their impact on the users


Bio

Eevis is a software developer who enjoys topics like GraphQL, CSS, TypeScript, React, and accessibility. She's also certified in accessibility with IAAP Certified Professional in Web Accessibility-certificate. She wrote her first lines of code when she was a teenager, but the lack of role models and support led her away from the magical world of programming. She got a degree in Russian language and culture, but that enchanting atmosphere kept drawing her back, and instead of a translator, she became a software developer.

When she's not coding or talking about coding, she spends her time with ultimate frisbee - either playing or taking part in decision making in the Finnish Flying Disc Association, or exploring the world with a kayak.
