Accessibility for Web Developers - Part 2
Course 3 of 8 in NOAA Website Creator
Accessibility issues on the website tend to fall into two categories: issues for content contributors and issues for developers. Developers use HTML coding to create page templates, tools, and applications. This course is the final part of a two-course series and is designed for developers ready to put accessibility principles into action. You’ll learn how to structure accessible navigation and page elements, use HTML and ARIA correctly, and apply CSS and JavaScript techniques that support accessibility and inclusion. The course also explores color usage, form design, and interaction patterns that improve usability for all. After completing the two-series courses, you’ll build the skills to create accessible web experiences.
