2. 2 Why accessibility? Why performance?
3. 3 What is “accessibility”?
4. “ 4 ‘Disability’ means… any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or disfigurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness… —Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act
5. 5 Accessibility Deliver a great experience to all users, regardless of their ability.
6. “ 6 Following these guidelines will make content accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity and combinations of these. Following these guidelines will also often make your Web content more usable to users in general. —Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (emphasis mine)
7. 7 Progressive enhancement
8. “ 8 The goal of Web design is not merely to dazzle, but to deliver information to the widest audience possible. …Compromise should not come at the expense of the user, but rather in terms of the native capabilities of the user’s choice of device.… Leave no one behind. —Steven Champeon, Inclusive Web Design for the Future (emphasis mine)
9. 9 Progressive enhancement Deliver a great experience to all users, regardless of their browser’s ability.
10. 10 Responsive web design
11. “ 11 Rather than creating disconnected designs, each tailored to a particular device or browser, we should instead treat them as facets of the same experience. —Ethan Marcotte, Responsive Web Design (emphasis mine)
12. 12 Responsive web design Deliver a great experience to all users, regardless of their viewing context.
13. 13 Web performance
14. “ 14 Many of us are fortunate to live in high bandwidth regions, but there are still large portions of the world that do not. By keeping your client side code small and lightweight, you can literally open your product up to new markets. —Chris Zacharias, Page Weight Matters (emphasis mine)
15. 15 Web performance Deliver a great experience to all users, regardless of their connection.
