Accessibility

Accessibility matters

Your website is the front door to your events. If it’s not accessible, it can exclude people with disabilities. Accessible design helps everyone, making your site easier to navigate, read, and use, while reaching a wider audience.

Why Web Accessibility Matters

Creating an accessible event website demonstrates your commitment to inclusive events while expanding your potential audience.

It also helps you comply with accessibility regulations in many regions, reducing legal risks while showing that your events welcome everyone.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At ASP, we believe every event should be accessible to everyone. Our platform is built with accessibility standards in mind, following WCAG guidelines to ensure your event website works for all potential attendees.

Built-in Accessibility Features

Every ASP designed website comes with essential accessibility features designed specifically for event websites:

01

Keyboard Navigation

Navigate through seminar schedules, speaker profiles, and registration forms using only a keyboard - essential for attendees with motor disabilities.

 

02

Screen Reader Compatibility

Event information, session details, and floorplans are properly structured so screen readers can accurately convey information to visually impaired attendees.

03

Clear Content Structure

Event content, speaker listings, and session information use proper heading hierarchies, making it easy for all users to understand your event structure.

04

Alt text For Images

Speaker photos, venue images, and sponsor logos should include descriptive text so visually impaired users understand visual content.

05

Colour Contrast Optimisation

Design elements meet contrast standards ensuring that text remains readable for visitors with visual impairments.

06

Focus Indicators

Clear visual indicators help keyboard users navigate through registration forms, session bookings, and interactive elements.

07

Responsive Design

Event websites work seamlessly across devices and assistive technologies, ensuring accessibility on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

08

Media captions

Adding captions to your media ensures that deaf and hard-of-hearing users can fully engage with your content, while also helping anyone watching in sound-sensitive environments.

09

Your Branding matters

Making your site accessible isn't just the right thing to do – it shows your brand genuinely cares about including everyone and can significantly expand your customer base.

Making Your Content Accessible

While we handle the technical accessibility features, you can enhance your event's accessibility by:

 

 

Preparing Your Content
  • Write clear, concise session descriptions and speaker bios
  • Use descriptive titles for workshops and presentations
  • Provide alternative formats for downloadable materials
  • Include captions or transcripts for video content

 

 

Organising Your Information
  • Structure your agenda with clear headings and time blocks
  • Group related sessions and speakers logically
  • Use consistent navigation throughout your event pages
  • Provide multiple ways to find information (search, categories, schedule)

 

 

Visual Elements
  • Choose high-contrast colours for your event branding
  • Ensure text is readable against background images
  • Provide text descriptions for infographics and charts
  • Use meaningful link text instead of "click here"

FAQ's

1. How can I improve my website’s accessibility? 

ASP takes care of all the technical coding work to ensure your site is as accessible as possible. Being the site owner means it's up to you to make sure your content and design are equally accessible. This means optimising your images, text, graphics and overall site layout.

2. How do I check the accessibility of my website?

We do our best to help with accessibility, but we can't promise complete compliance with all accessibility laws and regulations worldwide. It's up to you to review and follow the local legislation that affects you or your site visitors.

3. What are the principles of web accessibility?

Web accessibility is built on four main principles: content should be perceivable (users can see or hear it), operable (users can navigate and interact with it), understandable (information is clear and easy to follow), and robust (it works across different devices and assistive technologies).
