ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Accessibility in web design and development has historically been a luxury, but this perpsective has shifted as the landscape becomes increasingly litigious. As of 2012, over 18% of Americans identified as having a disability, according to the Census Bureau. From color ratios to alt text, we sit down with Nicole Oakes, Front End Developer at Lifeblue, to talk about the ins and outs of how to approach a project with a diverse range of end-users in mind, and hopefully how to avoid having your company sued because you didn't think it mattered.
