HTML para designers!

Portuguese: Um dos principais problemas relacionados a falta de acessibilidade em sites está relacionado com a escrita de HTML ruim e em muitos casos a responsabilidade não é apenas do time de desenvolvimento, pois há questões relacionadas a arquitetura de informação e também a especificação e documentação criadas para que desenvolvedores atuem corretamente na produção final. Nesta aula você irá entender que HTML é absolutamente tudo sobre Arquitetura de Informação e praticamente nada sobre codificação e também compreenderá os relacionamentos de todas as etapas com a acessibilidade das informações. English: One of the main problems related to the lack of accessibility on websites is related to poor HTML writing and in many cases, the responsibility does not just lie with the development team, as there are issues related to information architecture and also the specification and documentation created so that developers act correctly in final production. In this class, you will understand that HTML is absolutely everything about Information Architecture and practically nothing about coding and you will also understand the relationships of all stages with the accessibility of information.
