Demystifying Web Accessibility

" summary

Over 15% of people worldwide—more than 1 billion—have some form of disability, so accessibility affects users and sales alike. The talk stresses practical fixes: use semantic HTML (real H1, button, nav, alt text), meet WCAG AA color contrast 4.5:1 and test with the Chrome web developer tool, a color contrast Checker and a web disability simulator, and ensure keyboard accessibility (no focus traps, visible focus states, same mouse and keyboard functionality). A Tab Ally–style tab-order visualization uncovers real problems fast.
