Speaking Sessions
How to Perform an Accessibility Audit in the A11y track
Your Presentation
When asked to perform an Accessibility Audit, do you know where to start? How do you break down the steps into actionable items? Where to start? This talk will focus on the tools and methods used to perform accessibility audits on existing sites and how to communicate these changes to cross-functional teams.
What do you want people to learn from your presentation?
Participants will:
- Gain a high level understanding of WCAG 2.0 guidelines
- Be able to apply them to auditing existing sites or be cognizant of them when designing/developing for new websites.
- Have an understanding of the Process required to perform an audit independently.
Why did you decide to speak?
I felt there is not enough definitive information around on the audit and project management aspect of Accessibility. There was no step by step process when I did it. I want to be able to convey practical knowledge to others that I wish I had when I started.
What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?
I have always loved WordPress having worked with it for a long time. I enjoy it as a great community supported tool that is flexible enough for my needs. Also, it allows me to focus on what I want to do, which is just write great content.
I have watched it grow over the years and am proud to be an early adopter.
What is your favourite plugin or theme, and why?
Right now i’m using Longwave. This is a fairly flexible theme and it’s great for displaying content.
What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?
Meeting all the great people at the event as well as attend the presentations of some of the other great Speakers at the event..
