Who has­n’t expe­ri­enced it: light gray text on a light back­ground. Over nine­ty-five per­cent of all web­sites have acces­si­bil­i­ty prob­lems. To tack­le this prob­lem, new laws will apply in the EU from 2025: acces­si­ble web­sites will become manda­to­ry! It is there­fore impor­tant as devel­op­ers to under­stand the prin­ci­ples of this top­ic and to know the means to imple­ment these new require­ments. We also want to look at the advan­tages of acces­si­ble web­sites for those who do not direct­ly rely on them and what changes in the devel­op­ment process.

In this pre­sen­ta­tion, we will take an inter­ac­tive tour through the list of the most impor­tant acces­si­bil­i­ty issues using the exam­ple of pub­licly acces­si­ble web­sites. We will gain prac­ti­cal knowl­edge about analy­sis and devel­op­ment tools as well as HTML and CSS to make web­sites accessible.
