Carousels, Accordions & Pop-ups: Ingredients for a delicious website or a recipe for disaster?
Carousels, Accordions & Pop-ups are the popular ingredients to spice up our websites: they are easy to implement but easy to break and are guaranteed to create tons of accessibility, SEO and performance problems. They are hated, mocked and doomed by UX and Accessibility experts. They are loved, cherished and embraced by the rest of the world.
Even if we would like to erase them from our cookbooks, they remain popular with our colleagues, marketeers, managers, customers and CEOs. And sometimes rightfully so: there are reasons why you should keep using them.
In this presentation I discuss when and when not to use Carousels, Accordions & Pop-ups and what their usability and accessibility problems are. I show you how to make them accessible so next time you put these ingredients in your website, you know how to season them.
