About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Is your website quietly leaving users behind?

As 2025 brings stricter regulations, accessibility is no longer a “nice-to-have,” especially in regulated or public-facing sectors. It’s a direct line to better SEO, stronger engagement, and lower legal risk. Join our bite-sized, practical session with an experienced developer for a 3D view of website accessibility — from code-level details to inclusive design that goes beyond WCAG checkboxes. 

This session is designed for agencies, project managers, marketing and content teams, designers, and website owners who want to serve every visitor. While following accessibility guidelines is essential, true usability goes beyond compliance. Through real-life examples of both “good” and “bad” practices, you’ll see how markup and design choices directly affect people with different needs — along with practical steps you can take today to align with emerging standards and unlock opportunities you didn’t know you were missing.

Why attend

Join a hands-on, story-driven session covering:

  • Why accessibility matters: who it impacts and how it ties into SEO, mobile-friendliness, and overall usability
  • Everyday barriers: poor contrast, missing alt-text, keyboard traps, and more — shown through live screen-shares of real websites.
  • The positive ripple effect: how inclusive design improves UX for low vision users, mobile-first visitors, and people with disabilities
  • Compliance & usability: get a simple checklist to pinpoint and start closing any gaps
  • The cost of inaccessibility: from lost audience segments to potential legal implications and reputation risks
  • Strategic next steps: when to consider an audit, how to spot gaps early, and why ongoing content and design decisions truly matter
  • Q&A: ask your questions and get practical tips on website accessibility
