Website Content Accessibility Class
CAD $395.00 + Tax
This is what happens when your audience can’t access your online content.
If your website content creates barriers for people with disabilities, your organization is telling disabled people (and everyone else) that they don’t matter.
Disabled people make up at least one-fifth of your audience – likely more.
Writing accessible online content takes knowledge, skills and practice.
Accessibility isn’t something you do at the end of the writing process, it’s the completion of it, and something you think about from the very start.
The Website Accessibility Class is designed to help
You’ll learn practical ways to create accessible web content to meet and exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2 AA).
What you’ll get:
Live, instructor-led online training
3 hours of online training to learn core concepts and apply your knowledge through practical exercises and small group activities.
Pre-reading and homework to help you prep
Access to pre-reading and activities before the program starts to help you get the most out of the live classes.
Resources and tools you can use after class
Part of the journey is learning as you go. You’ll get tip sheets and checklists you can use every day, plus real-time feedback on your content.
Here’s what you can expect to learn:
Why Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) matter
How to write using plain language, without jargon and simple sentences
How to create well-structured, easy-to-navigate pages
How descriptive and meaningful links improve accessibility
About design considerations like colour contrast and how carousels, pop-ups, and overlays affect accessibility

About your instructor Kelly Thibodeau
If we haven’t met yet, my name is Kelly Thibodeau. I’m the daughter of a mom who had physical and cognitive disabilities and I witnessed first-hand the negative impacts of living in a world my mom felt excluded from.
I bring together over 25 years of marketing and communications experience and have been involved in creating accessible online web content since 2007, first as a member of a corporate working group, then as a website editor and social media manager. I started Squarely Social in 2018 and have been incorporating accessible web and social media content practices in my work and in my training programs. I’ve led and developed curriculum for universities, organizations and industry groups on digital and social media marketing.
I believe that digital experiences are social, and that conversational content includes disabled people.
