We will answer all these questions during this webinar. Designers are almost always under pressure to deliver wireframes, prototypes and mock ups quickly, there's not enough time to think about accessibility. Or is there?

When you know the requirements, it's very easy to design quickly, produce accessible designs and summarise design acceptance criteria for developers. Business and product owners are often afraid that it takes a lot of time that's why sometimes accessibility add-ons are deprioritised from the scope but accessible and inclusive design is always better for any type of customers.

Who is this webinar for?

- junior product designers

- junior UX and UI designers

- product owners and project managers who work with digital products
