Accessibility is an important feature of modern web development, like making sure that your website is responsive and fast. Making your site more accessible is also going to improve the SEO value and usability of your site. If your website doesn't meet WCAG A standard, it's time to make some changes! The question is, where do I start? This talk will focus on best practices and practical Drupal 8 theming and site building techniques to make your site more accessible.

We'll talk about:

Prioritizing your accessibility checklist
Low hanging fruit to make your site more accessible
