A DAY APART: ACCESSIBLE WEB DESIGN with Derek Featherstone

A session at An Event Apart DC 2011

In this full day post conference session, you’ll join Derek Featherstone as he helps you explore the true meaning of accessibility for the modern web. We’ll look at how the long-established principles of progressive enhancement help ensure a baseline level of functionality in your sites and applications and how you can make them shine to create truly useful experiences. Add to that a mix of modern technology such as CSS3, HTML5, ARIA, JavaScript and even service design for bulletproof functionality on web sites that works for everyone, including people with disabilities.

We’ll have a special section on mobile accessibility considerations to make this truly A Day Apart.

* See how modern technology fits in with our traditional view of accessibility.
Understand the impact of assistive technology and browser support on the solutions we build.

  • Feel the impact of progressive enhancement on user experience for people with disabilities.
