July 16, 2018 — Despite the enforcement of the “Act for Eliminating Discrimination Against People with Disabilities,” the actual workflow of web development has not, unfortunately, implemented the requirements properly.

一昨年の障害者差別解消法の施行以後、Webアクセシビリティに関する情報を日々目にするようになりました。では、それがWeb制作の現場に反映されているかというと、残念ながらまだまだと言わざるを得ません。いろいろな要因はあるにせよ、どうやらWebアクセシビリティの導入には高い障壁があるようです。

本セッションでは、WordPressの自作テーマ制作やプロジェクト進行のアクセシビリティ対応のポイントを挙げながら、参加者（＝制作者）にとってアクセシビリティ対応が特別なことではなく、難しいことでもないと認知していただくとともに、まずは簡単に対応でき、日々の制作に活かせる情報をお伝えすることを目的とします。

March 30, 2018 — Bij Level Level hebben we te maken met websites die schaalbaar en flexibel moeten zijn. Tijdens het ontwikkelen van een maatwerkproject willen we een goede basis neerzetten, zodat wijzigingen eenvoudig doorgevoerd kunnen worden en uitbreidingen gebruik kunnen maken van de bestaande onderdelen. Door enkele richtlijnen aan te houden zorgen we ervoor dat we het technisch gezien bij omvangrijke projecten allemaal op een rijtje houden. Denk hierbij aan methodes zoals Object Georiënteerd Programmeren, BEM (CSS) en technieken zoals Twig templating (Clarkson). Dit allemaal zonder het contact met WordPress te verliezen.

Ons doel is om websites op te leveren van hoge kwaliteit welke schaalbaar, stabiel en eenvoudig te onderhouden zijn. Dit resulteert in diverse projecten zoals Autotaalglas, Business Insider Nederland, ABN AMRO Financial Focus, Kansfonds of SOMO.

De klant blij, wij blij.
