Accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s essential for business, compliance, and user experience.About this Event
With the Equality Act, European Accessibility Act (EAA), and WCAG standards putting inclusion centre stage, organisations can’t afford to wait. Inaccessible websites risk losing customers, talent, and reputation, while accessible websites unlock opportunity.
By attending, you’ll walk away with practical, actionable steps to:
- Make your website usable for everyone – including people with disabilities, older users, and non-native speakers
- Meet accessibility standards today and prepare for evolving laws and guidelines
- Reduce barriers that frustrate users and lose business
- Build confidence in planning or improving your digital platforms
