Is eCommerce intentionally inaccessible?

In October 2021 I had the opportunity to speak at a11yTO Conference a curated playlist of talks, focused on digital accessibility.

In this talk I dissect the structure of an eCommerce website and highlight the areas were are potentially creating unaccessible experiences by design. You will learn what you need to watch out for when creating accessible eCommerce experiences, identify which components are unintentionally unaccessible and present some ideas on how to make them more usable.

This page was created as technical notes for the Slides presented at a11yTO Conf.
