Today is February 25, 2025, and we’re gathering for our second Accessibility Book Club Meeting of the year! We’re thrilled to be having a candid conversation with author Stacey Swinehart Ganderson about her book, WCAG for Designers: Accessibility Reference Manual.
I’ve personally prepared a few questions for Stacey, and I’m excited to participate and see all my favorite book club members’ faces. I know we’re competing today with Axe-Con, but keep in mind—those sessions are recorded, and our discussion is happening live!
About WCAG for Designers: Accessibility Reference Manual
This book is an invaluable resource for designers looking to create accessible digital experiences. It breaks down Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) into practical, designer-friendly concepts, making accessibility easier to implement from the start. Topics covered include:
- Understanding core WCAG principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust)
- Common accessibility mistakes in design and how to avoid them
- Practical strategies for color contrast, typography, and interactive elements
- Real-world examples and solutions for inclusive design
What to Expect from Today’s Meeting
We’ll have the unique opportunity to engage with Stacey Swinehart Ganderson in an open discussion about the book, her insights, and accessibility best practices. Here’s what’s in store:
🎙️ Live Q&A with the author
