An intensive workshop on digital accessibility

Which barriers digital accessibility brings to light and what we learned from the workshop.

TurnFriendly's digital accessibility project is moving forward.

Specialists from EYE-ABLE gave us valuable insights and identified real opportunities for improvement in an intensive accessibility workshop.

Who is affected?

  • More than half a million people with visual impairments in Germany alone
  • Almost one in ten people in Germany has a colour vision deficiency
  • Soon, one in two people will be over 50

What are the results?

  • Better usability for everyone
  • Greater accessibility for people with disabilities
  • A strong signal of inclusion and social responsibility

Highlights from the workshop

  • Legal requirements: An overview of key requirements and how we meet them.
  • Test methodology and checks: How we test accessibility and check our software against WCAG standards.
  • Screen reader tests: Practical testing with JAWS and NVDA to improve the experience for visually impaired users.
  • Best practices: Implementing keyboard tab navigation, HTML attributes and structural page regions for better accessibility.

We will keep working on this and share further updates. Stay tuned!
