Season 1
How current laws shape WCAG? - Interview with Bet Hannon
Welcome back to another episode of "Osom to Know" with Bet Hannon!
In today's episode, we have a special guest, Bet, who will be diving deep into the world of website accessibility and the various legal landscapes surrounding it.
Bet Hannon is the CEO of AccessiCart, a services agency that helps eCommerce and high user-interaction sites remove barriers for customers with disabilities and meet web accessibility compliance requirements (like ADA and the EAA β the European Accessibility Act). Bet is a contributor to the WordPress Project, a speaker at Meetups & WordCamps, and is the cofacilitator of the WordPress Meetup in Bend, Oregon where she lives.
Joined by our host, Maciej, Bet sheds light on the critical aspects of ensuring websites are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. She breaks down the key differences between B2B websites and consumer-focused services, and why companies targeting an older demographic need to prioritize accessibility.
We'll also explore the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on web accessibility and the rise of predatory lawsuits driving businesses to comply. Bet discusses the evolution of accessibility laws, both in the US and Europe, and the varied enforcement mechanisms and penalties that come with non-compliance. From the importance of minimalistic website design to the role of accessibility experts, this episode is packed with insights on making the digital world more inclusive.
Plus, we'll touch on innovative exercises like "Mouseless Mondays" to foster empathy and the significance of user feedback in creating genuinely accessible websites. Whether you're a business owner, developer, or designer, you won't want to miss this essential conversation
