Reality or myth?
Accessibility beyond the desktop
We’re at a cross roads
Mobile web 1999 = desktop 1998
Use web standards:HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML
Use W3C guidelines: MWBP 1.0, WCAG 2.0 (there is a cross over)
Innovate with emerging technologies
WAI-ARIA, CSS3 Media Queries, HTML5, Geolocation
• Progressive enhancement - media types to media queries
• Set a baseline - accessibility supported technologies (both desktop and mobile)
• Test - Opera Dragonfly (tests desktop and mobile)• One web - avoid .mobi or iphone only sites
Let’s not make the same mistakes of the desktop 1998
