Useful Accessibility Tools

With Graham Armfield @coolfields Coolfields Consulting - effective and accessible websites. Accessibility testing, consultancy and training.

Discover a selection of browser tools you can use for testing particular aspects of your website’s accessibility. He will include examples of how you can help make your sites easier for users who only have keyboard navigation access. He will also demonstrate to attendees WordPress plugins which can be used to fix some common accessibility problems found in a number of themes. Did you know that the word accessible was invented by William Shakespeare?
