Felix Hoffmann - Why Accessibility Benefits Us All

"How many users does it affect?"—a question managers love to ask in discussions about accessibility, implying that it's too much of an effort for such a small number of users. There is, however, only one right answer to their question: It affects all users. Automatic doors, escalators, and elevators are often build with disabled people in mind, yet they are used by everyone. It is a lot more convenient to push a button instead of manually opening a heavy door or climbing a flight of stairs. The same principle applies on the web. For example: when content can be operated through a keyboard, it helps users with limited motor skills. But a lot of geeks hate to use a mouse, too. They will be happy when you don't force them to lift their hands off their mechanical keyboards. This talk explains why users are going to love your product when you invest in accessibility. https://www.jsworldconference.com/newsletter Powered by https://passionatepeople.io #jsworld #jsworldconference #frontendlove #frontenddeveloperlove #javascript #reactjs #angular #react #vuejs #vue #vue3 #typescript #graphql #jamstack #amsterdam #conference #svelte #sveltejs #next #nextjs #staticsite #css #html #nuxt
