Time:

8:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Description:

Whether or not you’re targeting mobile web users, ‘hard to reach’ groups, disabled people, or even people with low connection speeds, you should make sure your websites, social networks, e-mails and e-newsletters are inclusive and adaptable for different communications needs and technologies.
Know what questions to ask and what reasonable adjustments your organisation needs to be making.

Ideal for you if:

You want to be sure your digital communications are accessible and user-friendly, without redeveloping your website or learning programming language

Back at work, you’ll:

•    Understand barriers to communication, avoid common mistakes
•    Make small, cheap and vital changes to your digital copy and images
•    Understand how mobiles, screenreaders and other technology reads web pages so you can plan your communications
