We’re partnering with accessiBe to deliver a web accessibility focussed event on the 9th of June Thursday. 16:00 London, 11:00 NY, 08:00 SF
Are you a digital agency leader looking to stay ahead of the curve?
The digital landscape is always changing, and it's more important than ever to make sure your clients' websites are accessible to everyone. This is not only a legal requirement or more importantly just the right thing to do, but it's also good for business. When agencies make their clients' websites accessible, they see better results, enhanced search engine optimization and create a much more inclusive customer base for their client.
Fully 1 out of 4 people in the US lives with some kind of disability, and agencies must make sure their clients' websites are accessible to those people. And it's not simply a matter of being compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It's also good business—because Web accessibility can deliver better results and enhance search engine optimization.
At our virtual event, you'll learn from other digital agency leaders about the importance of accessibility, the opportunities it represents for their clients and how having an accessibility focus can help carve a niche for their digital agency. Afterall only an estimated 2% of the web is currently accessible and increasing legislation and standards (like the ADA and WCAG) are creating an ever-growing demand for accessible web design along with specialist digital agencies to deliver it.
Join a panel of agency, compliance, and disability leaders to hear more about how Web accessibility can work for your agency and your clients. You’ll learn:
How to make accessibility an integral part of your agency's proposition and generate new revenue streams for your agency
What you need to comply with to mitigate the risk of unnecessary litigation
How the AI-powered approach makes Web accessibility efficient and affordable
Agencies who attend the event will also be able to run automatic tests on website accessibility compliance using accessiBe’s accessibility and compliance testing tool.
