The modern web is a great mix of technologies and formats. For people with disabilities, it can be hard to navigate, operate and interact with web content unless it is displayed in a suitable manner.

Finally, we examine web accessibility auditing and its role in ensuring web content can be experienced by everyone.
Accessibility has become a standard part of the web industry so this course can help anyone looking to work in the development of online content.
