Introduction to Accessibility for the Web.png

Accessibility means everyone should have equal access to the internet regardless of physical or mental disabilities or differences. As developers, you must create websites that are easily understood and navigated by everyone. While the concept of accessibility might initially feel intimidating, developers of all experience levels can create accessible products. Users are at the heart of everything developers build—and all users should have equal access to what you create as a developer.

In this course, you’ll learn the basic terminology, high-level concepts, and standard practices you need to start creating accessible websites and applications. You’ll look at the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, learn how to catch (and correct) common accessibility mistakes, and become a more considerate and empathetic developer.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge you need to create accessible UIs, write accessible code, and adapt inaccessible web experiences into accessible ones.
