Intervention
An astonishing 96.3% of websites have accessibility issues. Turning this number around is not just a job for frontend developers. Python developers can help too! In this talk, I'll introduce you to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and show you practical ways to incorporate accessibility into your Python web development. I'll walk through examples created with a Python-powered content management system called Wagtail CMS. By the end of this talk, you'll learn the key ways Python developers can enhance web accessibility and you'll leave with a hands-on tutorial to build your own more accessible website.
