Introduction to Accessible Web Development

About this course

In this 2-hour project, you will learn the basics of accessible web development while building a newsletter signup page. Specifically, you will learn how assistive technology interprets our web code, how to apply semantic HTML in order to write more meaningful interfaces, methods for coupling visual styles to the accessibility properties of a component, and creating a custom accessible component from scratch using WAI-ARIA. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

What you will learn

• Understand the importance of page semantics and how assistive technology interprets web code
• Write accessibility-first CSS styling that reflects both the visual and semantic state of a component
• Create an accessible custom component using ARIA
