Software accessibility is crucial to enable all users to access and use technology effectively, regardless of their physical abilities, also it's also a legal requirement in many countries. So, how do you build accessible software? And how do you make sure your software meets accessibility requirements and standards?

  • Software accessibility requirements and guidelines
