Web accessibility can seem like a daunting topic, but it's actually fairly simple to make improvements and meet the guidelines with some small changes to your HTML and CSS. In this course, Making a Web Form Accessible, you'll be starting with a fully-functional, but inaccessible web form for booking a room at a hotel. You'll walk through the minor changes required to make it fully accessible. You don't need to have any prior experience of making a website accessible, just a good understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery and you're ready to go. At each step, you'll be shown what the issue is, a straightforward way of resolving it, and the improved outcome. Never used a screen reader before? You'll see how to get started with the free NVDA screen reader to see your site from a different perspective. You'll also learn about WAI-ARIA (a specific kind of HTML) and how to fix the form validation. By the end of this course, you'll know how to create a web form that is vastly more usable for everyone, and still just as stylish as when you started.
