About the course
The WCAG Directive is all about making digital content on the web and in applications accessible and usable for individuals with diverse abilities. This includes a significant portion of the population, roughly 20 percent, who experience different types of functional variations. To bridge the accessibility gap and ensure inclusivity, it is essential to comprehend the barriers these individuals encounter in different contexts and learn how to construct solutions that make digital content more accessible and welcoming for all users.
This course is designed to empower editors and involved professionals with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to create accessible content and embrace WCAG principles.
