Session: What Businesses Should Learn from a Life Worth Living’s Accessible Website Journey
A business’s decision to hire a website developer to meet AODA standards is complicated by the lack of knowledge and understanding of digital accessibility on the part of both parties. Through A Life Worth Living’s three-year journey, Judy Robinet and David Best will highlight their real-world challenges and provide best practice solutions to avoid expensive and non-compliant sites. After this session, you will be able to:
- Identify the meaning of digital accessibility in terms of your business goals to measure your business accessibility requirements to maximize efficiency.
- Determine how digital accessibility can augment your business goals, values and target expectations through implementing a digital accessibility strategy.
- Examine your business culture to assess premeditated actions, the anticipation of others’ behaviour, and the purposeful design of coordinated actions.
- Develop best practice digital communication strategies to market products/services and build a unique brand to reach a diverse population with satisfied customers.
- Evaluate the vendor’s ability to deliver an accessible and useable website to maximize your business investment.
