Web Directions Code ’21 session spotlight–Overlays Underwhelm

Overlays Underwhelm

Adrian Roselli, Consultant

Accessibility overlays bring promises of accessible sites in one line of code, but experiences from users tell us the opposite. We will look at the guarantees, the marketing efforts, the code efforts, and lived experiences of users.
