You've heard accessibility is important in helping the world see your sites, but where are you supposed to start? It’s a big and complicated topic, enough to make some people throw up their hands and just give up on the concept entirely. But we can turn it from a terrifying mountain to a series of small hills when we think about marginal, gradual improvements.

In this workshop, Lemon will explain some fundamentals of HTML semantics and how they end up affecting the end users of your website. We’ll then do some live exercises improving the markup of some example code without changing anything about the design, and then describe some different types of impairments that your users could have, and practice taking some steps to get your content to those users.

Bring your laptop and come ready to rewrite some code, because we’re gonna start making gradual steps towards a more accessible internet, and we’re gonna start today.

This workshop is specifically designed to help working web developers make first steps towards writing more accessible code in their workplaces.
