To honor Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we are hosting a webinar on Accessibility Overlays, one of the most controversial issues in the field. Accessibility overlays or widgets are often promoted as a quick fix for accessibility, leading many to believe that a website without one is inherently inaccessible. This is not true. We often challenge organizations on this misconception because vendors aggressively sell overlays as quick compliance solutions. Unfortunately, many businesses buy into it, often neglecting the most important aspect: the user. Web accessibility is not only about compliance but also about the overall user experience.
In this webinar, we will discuss the following:
- What do accessibility overlays actually do? How do they work?
- What’s their real impact on your digital products’ accessibility?
- What are their false promises?
- What to do instead of using accessibility overlays
