Designer's a11y Responsibility
#a11yTO Conference | Toronto, Ontario | October 16 2018
Accessibility has traditionally only factored in the last stages of the Product Development Life Cycle:
-
if the developer decides to build responsibly,
-
if the QA team catches an issue, or
-
in the worst case scenario: if the company is sued by a customer after launch.
​However, accessibility and inclusive thinking really starts long before the first wireframe is sketched out or a single line of code is ever written.
In this talk, I shared practical tips on how designers & content strategists can start capturing the 'subjective' aspects of accessibility in designs to take the guessing out of our developer and QA friends' work.

![Quote from Billy Gregory: "When UX doesn't consider ALL USERS, shouldn't it be known as 'some' User Experience, or... SUX?"](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/32b727_681661d7a0f54480b301fdfd901721da~mv2_d_8864_4963_s_4_2.png/v1/fill/w_60,h_34,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/Quote2.png)
