Description

Web accessibility is no longer optional. Laws such as the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and global standards like WCAG require websites to be usable by people with disabilities. This course gives you the practical skills you need to test and fix accessibility issues using Axe DevTools and real browser tools.

This course is designed for web developers, testers, designers, and students who want to understand how accessibility works in real websites. Instead of focusing on theory, you will learn how to find real accessibility problems and verify them using professional tools.

You will start by learning how to use Axe DevTools to scan pages and detect accessibility violations. Then you will learn how ARIA labels work and how to test them properly so screen readers can understand your content. You will also learn how keyboard users navigate pages and how to control focus using the correct tabindex values.

The course covers image accessibility in detail, including how to identify decorative, functional, and informational images and how to write correct alt text for each type. You will also use Axe DevTools to validate image accessibility.

You will learn how to build and test accessible heading structures so screen reader users can navigate content easily. You will practice using both Axe DevTools and VoiceOver to verify headings.

Finally, you will learn how to test in-page tab components to make sure they work correctly for keyboard and screen reader users.

By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently test web pages for accessibility issues and ensure your websites meet WCAG and EAA requirements.
