During our workshop, we will see that it is the real possibility for a user with a disability, for example visual, motor, etc., to access information and use a digital service without obstacles. It is therefore not the installation of a plug-in or widget.
After reviewing the regulations and compliance obligations for companies, we will see how a blind user navigates the web, what tools they use, and what barriers they encounter. This is because, beyond the technical requirements, what really matters is the impact that poor accessibility has on users and companies. We will provide some figures on the main beneficiaries of accessibility, bearing in mind, however, that making a digital service accessible improves the quality for all users.
On closer inspection, therefore, accessibility requirements also represent a business opportunity for companies, which can thus reach new customers while improving the overall usability of their digital tools.
