Pitching accessible design like a pro
Accessibility means anyone can use the products we create regardless of their abilities. It's the right thing to do. Accessibility is also an investment. Organizations of every size and type want to see a return on their investments. How do you bridge the gap? How do you convince the toughest stakeholders to invest in something they seemingly don't care about? Learn how to pitch accessibility in a way that speaks to your stakeholders and moves the needle for your users.
