3 Online workshops to choose between

Melad Munther
Accessibility Specialist @Useit

YELLOWOnline Workshop: Designing with Invisible Ink: How to Annotate for Accessibility

Online

The designer plays a crucial role in establishing the foundations for an accessible user interface. By implementing accessibility annotations, the designer ensures that developers have the necessary specifications to build upon and testers have the information needed to verify that the product meets the designer’s expectations.

In this workshop, we will explore what accessibility annotations are and how to use them to enhance features like keyboard navigation and the screen reader experience.

By defining accessibility requirements early on, you eliminate guesswork in the development process and ensure that accessibility is integrated into the product rather than added later. This approach reduces costs and time while improving the overall user experience for all types of users.

YELLOWOnline Workshop: Beyond process and punctuation: Auditing your design guidelines for more effective delivery

Online

Style guides, templates, editorial processes – there are lots of tools and best practices that we create for consistent and excellent content and design work. And there are lots of resources on making those tools for your product. But once it's all down on paper, how do you know if they’re working? We don't just set and forget with our designs, and we shouldn't with our governance and processes either. We need to test, measure, and iterate. This session will walk through practical strategies, templates and learnings to make your guidelines and resources have more impact now and as your product grows.

You'll come away with:

- Definitions of success for your governance and content tools

- Strategies for evaluating their tools and processes

- Steps to take when you find opportunities for improvement

Discover how to go beyond usability and design with purpose, crafting experiences that resonate on a truly human level.
