• Accessibility doesn't exist

  by Chris Mills

  Accessibility is just a matter of passing the WCAG conformance criteria, or bolting on an accessibility widget to your existing site. But it is costly. Right? Spare me! Accessibility is a very misunderstood discipline. In this talk, Chris Mills will share his opinions on the subject including sensible approaches to testing, using conformance criteria and online tools, building accessibility around cost and environment limitations, and good old common sense. He will also argue that real accessibility isn't just about people with disabilities, and that accessibility - as a separate discipline - shouldn't in fact exist at all.
