Accessibility

BBC
Thank you for coming to CSUN, sticking around, and being here. I'm Emma Pratt Richens an accessibility specialist at the BBC. I started specialising in accessibility about 5 years ago. For 15 years before that I worked as a front-end web designer and developer. From the time of table-based layouts that adapted to the different screen widths and base font sizes that dinosaurs used, via the transition to well structured semantic HTML with CSS for styling and other considerations to make a government website accessible, through to template-based dynamic responsive websites that needed to work for keyboard and screen readers, mouse and touch, and for pre-reading age children. Even since, advising on digital interfaces that are moving to be component based. Making interfaces work for the variety of users I was aware of has underpinned my career. The difference now, compared to 20 years ago, is that I’m aware of so many more users.
