Accessibility Standards and the Modern Web

It is often said that good design is universal design. For anyone who has tried to incorporate this principle into her work, the criteria can be ambiguous. The Denver IxDF is partnering with Nutrislice to bring you a timely talk on accessibility principles and techniques. Does your website meet accessibility standards? How do individuals with disabilities interact with and use the web? Are you familiar with tools for evaluating your website's accessibility? Our keynote will cover accessibility principles, techniques, evaluation tools, and what you need to know in order to keep your website compliant with legal guidelines and international standards.
