If you overlook accessibility from the start, fixing it later can become very expensive, as it often means redoing large parts of your entire Design System.

These costs can accumulate rapidly. 🫣💰

And with accessibility regulations becoming increasingly stringent, these costs are only likely to rise. 💰💰💰

👆 As seasoned Design System and Accessibility Leads we understand the financial and operational challenges of incorporating accessibility.

📚 That’s why we’ve developed a 2-day online training teaching you how to create accessible Design Systems and components from the ground up, saving you both time and money. 🙌🏼

Let us help you integrate accessibility into your design process — effectively and affordably. 💪

We’re proud to host Creating Accessible Design Systems — a two day workshop on September 9 and 10 — Online

Hosted by Marcelo Paiva, the creator of the WCAG plugin for Figma and Sarah Massengale, a blind technologist, who will give participants firsthand insights into the challenges and solutions for designing experiences with accessibility in mind.

Over the course of two days, we’ll cover the fundamentals and advanced techniques of accessible design, ensuring that product owners, user researchers, and product designers can plan, architect and design high-quality systems that are usable by everyone.

What you will learn:

🔹 Design accessible components and experiences
🔹 Leverage design tokens for accessibility
🔹 Collaborate and hand-off accessible components with developers
🔹 Define accessible user stories and acceptance criteria
🔹 Conduct user research with participants with disabilities
🔹 Create accessible prototypes and test them with screen reader users
