Accessible Web Design for Non-Technical Roles

Accessible Web Design for Non-Technical Roles equips participants with the essential skills to create inclusive digital environments. The course emphasizes practical application through project-based learning, enabling attendees to engage with real-world scenarios and produce tangible outcomes. Participants will explore the principles of web accessibility, focusing on how to design websites that cater to diverse user needs, including those with disabilities.
Through interactive sessions, learners will gain insights into various tools and techniques that facilitate accessible design. The course culminates in a final project where participants will apply their acquired knowledge to develop an accessible web page, which can be showcased in Cademix Magazine.
