Selling Clients on Web Accessibility #a11y

This episodes fea­tures acces­si­bil­i­ty guest Lau­ra Shields from Nerdery​.com in a live­ly dis­cus­sion about web acces­si­bil­i­ty: what it means, how to do it… and most impor­tant­ly, how to sell it to our clients. We can’t make the web a bet­ter place unless we can make a con­vinc­ing case to our clients that it’s in their best inter­est to pay for it.

Acces­si­bil­i­ty or ​“a11y” is some­thing that we all feel like we should be doing, but aren’t sure how to get start­ed on. The dis­cus­sion talks about how acces­si­bil­i­ty real­ly ties into oth­er best prac­tices like being SEO-friend­ly, hav­ing a per­for­mant web­site, and writ­ing good seman­tic HTML.
