A professional web developer, designer, and accessibility advocate for 23+ years under many different technologies starting with HTML/CSS, Perl, and PHP, Todd has been an avid learner of web technologies for over 40 years starting with many flavors of BASIC all the way to React/Vue.
Currently, an Accessibility Engineer at WebstaurantStore, Todd is also a member of the W3C Silver, ACT, and AGWG groups, as well as many subgroups doing work on WCAG 3.0. When not coding, you’ll usually find Todd tweeting about lobster rolls and accessibility.
The web is accessible by default, and in this talk, I cover the four principles of accessibility. We’ll start with a little history lesson on how POUR began and then we will take a walk through the four principles of accessibility, or “POUR”. Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.
These four principles in WCAG 2.2 will be covered and explained to users of all levels. All recommendations that are made for accessibility best practices are based on the four principles of accessibility.
We will also cover some common areas where failures of accessibility lie and how decisions affect accessibility with some real-world examples of how the four principles of accessibility weren’t achieved and examples of how they can be achieved.
