Would you like to help make Joomla! accessible to more people? Would you like to get involved in the Joomla! Accessibility Team or the Accessibility Programme funded by the Sovereign Tech Agency? Please join us for this hands-on workshop on accessibility testing.

In this hands-on workshop for up to 15 people, we’ll cover how to test Joomla! sites for accessibility, and how to do accessibility testing for Joomla! PRs, both front-end and back-end. You will learn what to check, which tools to use, how to tell a real barrier from a false positive, and how to write up a finding so that a developer can act on it.

The other goal of this workshop is recruitment. The Accessibility Team needs more contributors, and testing is a bottleneck for the Accessibility Programme. After this workshop, you’ll have the skills to contribute to accessibility where it’s needed most.

Target Audience

Site builders, developers, testers, editors, anyone who touches a Joomla site and could run an accessibility check on it. No prior accessibility knowledge needed. Bring a laptop and headphones.

Make it Happen Goals

Up to 15 people who can test Joomla for accessibility, and new team members for the accessibility work.
