UXPA Boston Conference 2024

In conventional applications, designers dictate layout and functionality. However, more and more modern applications empower users with a blank canvas or “artboard” and tools for content creation. This flexibility presents unique accessibility challenges. In this session, we’ll explore how to transform these challenges into opportunities for innovation.

We’ll delve into a case study of a hypothetical Kanban board application, focusing on four user personas. We’ll ensure each persona can add a task, move tasks, and zoom/pan the viewport. By addressing these personas’ needs, we’ll demonstrate how to leverage existing technologies and design principles to create a functional, visually appealing, and accessible application.

Creating equitable and accessible interactivity goes beyond adhering to guidelines. It’s about understanding our users’ diverse needs and designing inclusive, engaging experiences. Join us to learn how to make your applications accessible, enhancing user experience and broadening your audience reach.
