Accessible by Design: Building Better from the Start

Too often, accessibility is treated as something to be delivered in code or fixed during testing. But by then, it’s usually too late, too costly, and too inefficient to deliver well. True accessibility begins much earlier – in the tools we use in design, how we choose components, and how inclusive practices are embedded across the entire delivery pipeline. In this webinar, we explore how organisations can make accessibility part of their digital delivery process, with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and long-term impact. Our experts share practical approaches, tools, and frameworks that help teams bake accessibility into every stage, from requirements to design, through coding, testing and launch.This webinar recording will tell you: How design systems and component libraries can drive consistency and reduce accessibility issues The tools that help automate accessibility assessments in Figma How embedding accessibility decision logs in Confluence can align teams and document their progress/li> The role of AI in accessibility testing – what it can (and can’t) do, and why manual testing remains essential Whether you’re a designer, developer, tester, or product owner, this session will show you how embedding accessibility upfront makes delivery more efficient and cost-effective – while building better, more inclusive experiences for everyone.
