Accessibility for UX-designers

Creating accessible products and platforms is something that benefits all users and is now a requirement. The laws and guidelines that previously only applied to public institutions will also apply to the private sector starting in 2025, which makes it even more important for your team to understand what is required and how to incorporate accessibility into their daily work. This course is aimed at teams and organizations working with UX, who may have a basic understanding of accessibility but struggle to apply their knowledge in practice or want to learn more.

In today's digital age, we rely heavily on various websites to gather information, often through activities like clicking, screen customization, listening, and reading.

In this course, we will delve into the components of web accessibility guidelines that are set to take effect for the private sector by 2025.
