There are many reasons to include accessibility in modern websites right from the start. A website, that everyone can access, enhances the user experience for all visitors – and for many sites this is actually a legal requirement.
In this talk, I will explain first-hand how we implement accessibility at our company “required” in our daily work. I will show techniques, tips and small touches that can have a large impact. Together, we will overcome the hesitation surrounding a topic that might seem like an overwhelming hurdle. And we will see how accessibility actually creates opportunities to build better websites for everyone.
Our example will be the new website for Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council, that we launched in 2024. I will also be presenting “Zugang für alle” (Access for all), an initiative that campaigns for accessibility in the digital space, which supported us with this project.
