Dizzy users close browsers: balancing creativity and accessibility
“Accessibility is the death of creativity”; “You can’t be creative and accessible”; “This site may not be accessible or useful, but it’s because it’s creative!”
How many times have you heard the above, or a combination thereof? On the modern web, there is a tendency to identify “creativity” with “objects that move very fast on the screen without any apparent reason”.
If creativity needed animation, we might as well set fire to most of the world’s museums.
There is also a tendency to identify “accessible” with “ugly” and “sacrificing imagination”.
Piccia Neri will debunk these myths in her talk, showing how your website – and business – can be visible, beautiful, creative, accessible – and at the same time, extremely profitable. With practical takeaways on how to use animation effectively and accessibly.
Three takeaways
- There are invisible disabilities that we need to take into account
- We’re not building pieces of art to be enjoyed passively: we’re creating interactive tools that people need to be able to use
- And I’m here to show you how to make them beautiful, creative, engaging, and delightful, while totally accessible!
