Building better with Drupal: practical tools for accessible websites

When the European Accessibility Act (EAA) comes into force in March 2025 private and public organisations providing products and services to anyone in the EU, including digital services and websites, will be required to meet specific accessibility standards to ensure equal access for people with disabilities.

However, accessibility is more than compliance, it is the backbone of modern user experience design. In this session, we'll explore how Drupal can help site builders and front-end developers not only meet but exceed accessibility standards like WCAG 2.2 and the EEA.

This session will dive into Drupal’s core accessibility tools, advanced theming techniques, and content workflows to ensure your site is accessible by design. We'll also share best practices for building custom components and enhancing the user experience for people of all abilities.

Join us to learn how you can leverage Drupal to go beyond compliance and create websites that truly empower every user.
