Inclusive web design: How to make your designs accessible for level A?

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.

We will consider:

- best UX patterns for accessibility to achieve A level of conformance: Page structure, navigation, error prevention and error messaging, forms, status messages, tables

- the difference between captions and subtitles

- what are the skip links in the navigation

- what is the mouse trap
