Talk Information
Be it creating account, logging in, searching or sending messages — forms are everywhere on the web and they’re super important. However, if accessibility is overlooked, forms can create quite literal barriers for people with disabilities. This talk will be a practical guide to building web forms that are accessible and won't leave anyone behind.
We’ll start with brief introduction to web accessibility, and then go over common patterns in forms and how to implement them accessibly. We’ll cover semantics, labels, hints, validation, errors, focus and more. All supported by practical example and interactive demos. It’s going to be fun!
