Event Details

In the modern marketplace, companies have a legal responsibility to ensure that their websites are accessible to users with disabilities. It also makes good business sense to make your products and services available to as wide a range of customers as possible.

This one day course provides a comprehensive overview of web accessibility, the main difficulties disabled users face when using the web and the measures you need to take to make your site accessible.

Through the use of real examples, you will gain valuable knowledge that you can integrate into your own operations to ensure your offering is accessible to all.

This course is aimed at non-technical staff that require a concise overview of web accessibility and the benefits to your business and your customers. Development staff should consider our 'Web Accessibility for Developers' event if a more technical course is required.
