A deep dive into #Accessibility with Claudio Zeni from #Incluthon

As a case study, he compares the website of a local taxi company, or a pizza restaurant, vs. the plain Wordpress theme with careful tagging at SBV, the Swiss association of the blind and visually impaired — which we should all support at https://sbv-fsa.ch 💜

Instructive and inspiring pangs of shame from anyone writing (AI-)sloppy HTML code, or putting inaccessible Web components and poorly designed layouts into the public domain. Often the correct description of buttons, hierarchy of form elements, fundamental questions are ignored. Desktop software is better (mostly), but still fails at the boundary of un-OCR'ed scans and many edge cases.

Thanks for coming to the #ecollecting #hackathon and sharing your valuable perspective with us, Claudio! Hopefully these lessons are also being well learned in the classes of @bfh_hesb and IT departments of government.
