Creating Products and Services That Are Simply Accessible | Johnny Holland
Today on Radio Johnny Jeff Parks talks with Derek Featherstone, who will be presenting at the upcoming edUi conference about the importance of accessible design in the creation of great experiences for every user. Derek argues that organizations need to look at accessibility as a design tool and not simply as list of requirements with which they must comply. As we build more dynamic interfaces our standard of care must also increase.

Web Accessibility For Everyone
If you’ve ever used a large–handled can opener or a door with a lever instead of a knob, you’ve benefited from universal design. Universal Design is a relatively new approach to creating products and buildings. The goal is to make everything usable and effective for everyone.

KUOW’s Jeannie Yandel visited Wendy in her home office in Seattle’s north Ballard neighborhood. And she found out why Wendy strives to make the Internet universally accessible.
