Web Accessibility Training
REMOTE WEB ACCESSIBILITY TRAINING FOR SECT 508 / ADA / WCAG WEBSITE COMPLIANCE
Brands and institutions today are eager to ensure their digital properties comply with federal and state accessibility laws, which today apply to websites, web apps and mobile apps. Such organizations also recognize thier moral obligations to make sure their digital properties are accessibile and not discriminatory. In doing so, not only are they able to avoid the hassle and cost of on-going ADA related legal actions, but they have this opportunity to show through action, their committment to inclusion. The process of getting there requires more than a web accessibility policy statement, and adding image alt tags. It's much deeper and involves web designers, front side developers and content contributors. Since COVID, we have shifted from on-site classroom trainings to remote video training. All are live. None are canned.
