Making your online presence more accessible: images, graphics and text with Michael Chamberlain
This webinar will introduce key points of accessibility in your branding and online marketing so that participants can ensure their online presence is accessible for disabled people. We’ll cover topics including colour and contrast, alt text and text formatting.
This workshop is aimed at third sector professionals who are responsible for their organisation’s online presence.
What you will take away from this workshop:
- A basic understanding of a breadth of accessibility factors, for instance how to use an accessible text font and size.
- Confidence in implementing extra accessibility steps into their website and social media.
- Attendees will gain information about where to go if they want to extend their knowledge , so they can continue learning beyond the webinar.
This session is open to any charity sector employees and volunteers across the UK. Where spaces are limited priority will be given to grant holders of The William Grant Foundation, The Robertson Trust, Inspiring Scotland, The National Lottery Community Fund and The RS MacDonald Charitable Trust.

His interests also include disability rights more broadly.
