WCAG-Focused Accessible Web Development Training introduces the essential principles and practices for creating websites and digital applications that are more inclusive and accessible to users with different needs and abilities.

Web accessibility goes beyond meeting technical requirements. It helps ensure that digital content and online services can be used by a wider range of people. As legal expectations and awareness of inclusive design continue to grow, accessible web development has become increasingly important from legal, ethical, and business perspectives.

The course is built around the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and covers semantic HTML, accessible text and media, keyboard accessibility, color contrast, ARIA, and accessibility testing.

Through practical exercises, participants strengthen their understanding of accessible web design and gain foundational skills for evaluating and improving the accessibility of web pages.

For corporate groups, we can organize this training as an on-site private group.
