Training & Workshops

Understand accessibility, not just check the box.

Accessibility does not start in code alone - it is shaped by decisions in design, content and product planning. I train your teams in practical formats so accessibility works in day-to-day delivery, not only in documentation.

Why training?

Many accessibility issues are not caused by a lack of intent, but by a lack of concrete know-how: How should alt text be written? What makes a form truly accessible? Which contrast ratios are required - and how do teams test them reliably?

External audits and remediation can create short-term compliance. Training builds sustainable capability in the team that works on your website every day. That is how accessibility becomes structural instead of reactive.
