s front-end developers, we are tasked with building the *front* end of a Web site or application — in other words, we are building the *user's* end of an interface. This is why it is crucial that we ensure that the front-end foundations that we
build are as inclusive of and accessible to as many users as possible. To do that, we must build with accessibility in mind from the get-go. This, in turn, means that the way we approach writing HTML, CSS, SVG and JavaScript *might* need to
change as we take into consideration many factors that affect how (in)accessible our UIs are.
This talk is a practical one, chock-full of tips for creating more accessible front-end foundations. If writing HTML, CSS, SVG and JavaScript is part of your job, then this talk is for you.
In this session — a series of macro case studies from real client projects — Sara shares some frustrations, many lessons learned, and a lot of practical tips and tricks for building accessible front-end foundations that you can take and apply
in your own projects right away.
