Being mindful of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, this session will cover: getting going, outlining some of the most important low-hanging fruit you should be sure to address, and highlighting easy and free automated testing tools you can take advantage of. Even some simple actions and tests can make a huge difference for your users! Accessibility perfection may be a journey of a thousand miles, but attend this and we’ll get you on the road and help you take the first few big steps.
