Short description Make websites disabled people can use: WCAG 2.2 in plain English, headings, links, alt text, contrast, forms, keyboard access, checks and statements. 50 written lessons plus 10 practice downloads.
Outcomes
  • Explain how disabled people use websites, including screen readers, magnification, voice control and keyboard access, and where barriers come from
  • Describe the Equality Act duty and the UK public sector accessibility regulations in outline, and who monitors and enforces them
  • Read WCAG 2.2, its four principles and its levels, and explain the new criteria in version 2.2
  • Structure pages with clear headings, page titles, lists, tables and link text that makes sense
  • Write useful alt text, use colour well and check contrast ratios with the WCAG formula
  • Build or specify forms with labels, hints, helpful error messages, autocomplete and accessible sign-in
  • Check keyboard access, focus order, visible focus, target size and pop-ups
  • Make video, audio and documents accessible, and choose web pages over PDFs where you can
  • Write plain English and use semantic HTML first, with ARIA only where it adds something
  • Review your own site by hand, keep an issue log, and write and maintain an accessibility statement
Requirements
  • No accessibility or coding experience needed
  • A website you edit or look after helps, but the course includes sample pages to practise on
  • A computer with a modern web browser; a free screen reader is used in lesson 9.4, and the lesson explains how to get one
  • A spreadsheet app helps for the contrast calculator and issue log, but isn’t essential
  • Some lessons show HTML for people who edit code; editors can skip the code and still follow everything else
