Designing for access seminars:
"We don't need to compromise between usability and access - it can be Yes And..."
Our guests will be talking about their experience as users and/or as designers, making apps and services accessible.
- About the market need for accessibility to be met.
- About some of the practical access-skills designers need to test the features and judge accessibility function/performance.
- And some of the practicalities of how access design can become integral to the design/development lifecycle.
We touch on questions like:
- What are the trade-offs (if any) between accessibility and usability for the things we design?
- What are the challenges of making the case for accessibility from day one?
- Is it our job to raise clients' awareness about accessibility requirements when pitching a project/product?
- How tough is your audience of users who have access needs? How do you get them on-side?
- How deep does access functionality need to go?
- How do you evaluate an app for different kinds of accessibility use?
- What lessons have you learnt that improved your approach on new projects?
- Opening career paths... and organisations where accessibility is a core value?
