Why learn about web accessibility? 

Some users operate and experience the web in very different ways than what we may be accustomed to, but everyone should be able to access the same information. That’s what accessibility is all about! 

In this workshop, we’ll learn about web accessibility laws and guidelines, and share practical examples that can be applied to any website. Learners will implement these best practices as they build a one-page website, including using HTML5 structural elements, proper heading order, and accessible fonts and colour combinations. We’ll also learn about accessible content, including how to make text, links, images, and videos easily digestible for all sorts of users.

Who is this for?

Our Ladies Learning Code workshops offer female-identified and male-identified, trans, and non-binary adults hands-on, project-based learning experiences that are designed to give beginners the skills and confidence they need to become digital creators.
