Creating inclusive interfaces isn’t just a best practice or the right thing to do — it’s the law. Organisations and their design teams can no longer treat accessible design as an afterthought.
Countries around the world have for some time required public institutions to design their sites and applications to be accessible to all. Increasingly, they require companies to achieve the same for their sites and apps. The United States’ Americans with Disabilities Act or Section 508, the EU’s Accessibility Directive and the EU’s Accessibility Act provide key examples of requirements and consequences.
Accessible design requires skill, and designing for accessibility in an efficient manner all the more so. Some time invested into training will be well worth the time and resources invested! Consider that in some cases, the law explicitly mandates your organisation to train your staff on accessibility.
If your designers need a straightforward approach creating interfaces that are both aesthetically pleasing and accessible to everyone then this course is for them!
