“Since starting our course on usability heuristics for design, our team has gained knowledge and confidence on the breadth of accessibility when designing for web and mobile. More importantly, we gained inspiration on how we can advocate for users by being well-versed in accessibility for digital. Within 30 minutes into our first session, I knew the folks participating were engaged and that we’d want to continue working with Deque down the road.“

Partner & VP, Design, WillowTree
“I found the modules in the Accessibility for Designers curriculum package incredibly digestible. If at any point I was confused, there would be a helpful example just below, and I would have a firmer grasp on the subject. The courses also provided ‘cheat sheets’ for accessibility, so you can get quick answers to a lot of day-to-day questions and share them with your team. I would really recommend the courses to anyone who wants to make accessibility an integral part of their process.”
