  • Simplifying WCAG: How the heck do I actually make websites accessible?

    WordCamp Montclair 2024Speaker: Danielle Zarcaro

    August 17, 2024 — What are the best resources to actually understand what’s needed to make a website accessible? How do you know what you can “ignore”?

    Perceivable, operable, understandable, robust. Sounds good, right? But what does that actually mean? As a designer, what do you need to know? A content writer, a developer. What parts are important to know at what times? Are there other ways to organize these guidelines to better represent the different parts of website building, rather than through these principles that drive the WCAG?

    We’ll dive into some tools that help us understand these guidelines, and how we can think about these concepts in ways that are a little easier to understand.

  • Accessibility Without Compromising Creativity

    WordCamp US 2023Speaker: Danielle Zarcaro

    October 13, 2023 — Nothing about accessibility means you have to be boring. It just means you’re making your websites better. Just like when we realized there were a ton of different screen sizes to adapt to, it made our websites better for more people to use, accessibility is another way to give more people access to the sites you make.

    We stick to conventions and best practices. We ask about audience and cater to their needs. Accessibility is about integrity. It’s about learning the basics, and using each new project as an opportunity to learn something new.

    Let’s go over some amazingly creative ways to make fun and accessible websites.
