SXSW - Ed Schipul: Turning a Blind Eye to Good Usability

Does your jQuery crash accessible browsers? Are you required by law to be accessible?

“Accessibility” online can have many definitions and contexts. For most of us web designers and developers, we fall into the trap of thinking adding alt text to images is enough to make our websites "accessible."

Join Ed Schipul, CEO of Tendenci, and blind motivational speaker Rachel Magario, Assistive Technology Specialist at PACER Center's Simon Technology Center, as they discuss what accessibility online really looks like to both web designers and visually impaired end users.

This session will cover best practices, testing, and pitfalls to avoid in implementing accessible web design. You will walk away with actionable tips you can use in your web design and development projects.
