The WCAG are our non-tactile guiding lines for web accessibility, but many of us working in web accessibility have never experienced the real world through low-vision eyes.
This talk is a collaboration between UX for hardware and front-end development to give you the best of both worlds: on and offline. Together we will explore how a white cane can take you from point A to be and how a screen reader works through your main user flow.
At the core of this talk will be the fact that blindness is a spectrum and therefore, no one-size-fits-all solution exists. However, if you understand how blind users interact with your website, it's going to be easier to make decisions on what will be useful to users in a particular flow, design in a usable way, and choose the right tags in your code.
