Real practical tips to get your website accessible (and compliant!)
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 10:00
Real practical tips to get your website accessible (and compliant!) - Mark Tomkins, Founder and Creative Director of Aubergine
Tuesday 14 March 2023, 10.00am - 11.30am, £25.00 or £12.50 with small council bursary
In this highly practical webinar, Mark Tomkins, one of the UK's leading website accessibility experts for councils and author of NALC's Website Accessibility & Publishing Guidebook, provides step by step guidance and tips you can use to improve the accessibility of your council website.
Councils often ask why they need to do this? Put simply, aside from it being a legal requirement since 2020, it is the right thing to do. One in five people in the country has a disability or situation that makes it hard for them to access the information from a website without barriers if it's not accessible. As a public body, local councils must make sure that what they publish is available to the whole community. This also leads to greater Community Engagement. With a few, easy to learn tips and guidance, by the end of the webinar you will understand the techniques and process that will improve the access to information for those in your communities that otherwise would struggle. The session will include:
- Documents and links
- Page Formatting
- Images
- Page heading structure
- File formats
- Checking processes
