Description

Note. Our course material is continually evolving. This course will be updated for free throughout 2020 and is the one stop shop for everything you need to begin building accessible websites. This is the best online web accessibility course available at a very affordable price.

This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of web accessibility and how to apply those techniques to websites that you create. The modules are organised into categories grouping accessibility techniques to the relevant parts of a web page.

Each lecture explains one accessibility concept only and after every lecture there is a quiz to complete followed by the end of module activity applying all you've learnt onto a demo website. Most lectures are approximately 5 minutes long with no lecture being over 10 minutes in length.

You will learn:

  • An overview of web accessibility guidelines and WCAG 2.1

  • Build the structure of a page using a skeleton of accessibility support

  • Create content in an accessible way

  • Improve the structure of web forms using accessibility best practice error handling and validation patterns

  • Apply accessibility techniques to a demo website hosted on GitHub

This course gives you practical reusable patterns and best practice accessibility examples to apply to your projects. Web accessibility is fast becoming a required skill when developing for the web. The accessibility guidelines can be difficult to understand and challenging to apply. It's often left up to developers to try and do their best making content accessible by attempting to read and understand very complex technical guidelines.

Employers are looking for developers with an edge, web accessibility is that edge. Understanding how people with disabilities navigate a website and how you can make the experience better will set you apart from other developers. If you work in website or software development, UX or UI design in any frontend or backend technology this course is for you.

Web accessibility is more important than ever with more and more services are moving online. Unless these services are accessible the web can become a huge barrier for people with disabilities rather than a great opportunity to help with independent living.

Who this course is for:

  • Developers who want to get hands-on and really understand and become familiar with web accessibility and common accessibility patterns for the websites and web applications they build.
  • UI designers who need to understand the accessibility constraints for building web UI's.
  • Software architects and business analysts who want to build in accessibility requirements early in the decision making process.

This course is the best introduction course for WCAG 2.1 that I found. It's straight to the point and easy to understand. Both the Developer and QA of my team will surely benefit in this course. Thank you so much!

I am the founder of CANAXESS a web and digital accessibility company. I have been working in the web since its very inception. I hold professional certification in web accessibility, several degrees in software development and have written the accessibility unit for Open Universities Australia and blog, tweet, and present regularly on web accessibility.

I am at my core, a developer I know how backend and frontend web technologies work and how the output can affect users with disabilities.

I've worked as a frontend developer, backend developer, web accessibility auditor and web accessibility specialist and have worked with some of the biggest companies and governments in Australia.

My background is very hands on and technical, I live and breathe web accessibility.

I don't teach uninteresting high level theoretical concepts which are difficult to apply to your every work, I will give you the skills and techniques for you to excel at web accessibility and I will teach you everything I know.

My web accessibility courses are for you. We dive straight into understanding and applying web accessibility to your own digital projects. Web accessibility can be difficult to understand but I explain it using straight forward language, this is a jargon free zone.
