Debbie Gijsbrechts, expert in inclusive and accessible design at Humix, highlights the practical implications of the accessibility law for your website.

Using very practical examples, Debbie answers the following questions:

• What do you really need to know about accessibility and how does it improve your website for everyone?
• What useful tools and techniques are there to make your website (even) more accessible?
• What elements need to be modified on your website and how much work does it really take?
• Overwhelmed by the adjustments that need to be done? Learn how to prioritize accessibility in a smart way.
• How do you make accessibility an integral part of your design and development process?
• How do you test the accessibility of your website with the target audience and create feedback loops with users to continuously improve the UX.

In addition, Bart Van den Brande of Sirius Legal takes you on a short trip through the most important information of the Accessibility Act. No legal jargon. Just plain language and, as usual, pragmatic advice.

• What exactly is the European Accessibility Act? Where did it come from and what exactly does Europe want to achieve with it?
• What important dates should you take into account? When exactly will the Act apply?
• Does it also apply to your website? Or do you quality for one of its exceptions?
• Are there transitional measures and when are the deadlines?
• We dwell on the principle of disproportionate burden, a term entrepreneurs will be only too happy to use.
• An additional link in your footer: the accessibility statement. What exactly should be included in this page?
• Enforcement and penalties: who will police this new accessibility law?
