A new and innovative approach to a more inclusive Internet from one of the world’s well-known open web advocates
In Included: Redefining Accessibility for the World Wide Web, open web advocate Molly E. Holzschlag delivers an expansive and insightful roadmap to a more inclusive and diverse experience of the web. The author suggests a new way of framing the concept of accessibility and encourages a more productive and socially beneficial World Wide Web. In this book, Molly places accessibility first, when it typically has been a narrow view that it is an add-on or resource drain for clients. Once redefined, members of any web project, redesign, code update, or quality assurance process can begin planning how to make their sites and apps “available” for any person around the world regardless of location, device, browser, location, language, socioeconomic status, physical condition, or political barrier. In addition to explaining what it means to have a web that’s accessible to all comers, Molly describes how different sensory perceptions can be used to ease human-computer interaction.
In the book, readers will also find:
- Explorations of neurocognitive differences, geographic and socioeconomic issues, and machine access
- Discussions of accessibility and design principles for an accessible world wide web
- Comprehensive treatments of how to sustain and adapt web content for accessibility for the long term
An indispensable resource for web designers, web architects, marketers, business leaders, and technical leaders, Included belongs on the bookshelves of anyone responsible for deciding who and what can access an organization’s website and what they will get when they visit.
