Description Web accessibility has been a legal requirement in countries that have disability and discrimination laws, such as the UK, for a number of years. However, few businesses show much more interest than they did three years ago, with many ignoring it altogether.

This workshop provides a practical hands-on approach to accessibility compliance and inclusive design. Through the day you’ll learn how to champion the cause, identify compliance issues and easily build sites that are easy for anyone to use.

Who is the course for?
This course is for you if you are actively involved in website design either as a designer, developer or manager of an in-house or agency web design team.
