Accessible Design Beyond Alt Text
Creating Digital Content Everyone Can Use
Most design education treats accessibility as a checklist you run through at the end. Add alt text, bump up the contrast, call it done. Beyond Alt Text starts from a different place: accessibility isn't a compliance step, it's a skill, and it changes how you plan a post, a graphic, or a campaign before you've even opened the software.

Accessible design gets treated as something you do for a specific group of people. In reality, high contrast helps everyone reading on their phone in bright sun. Clear typography helps everyone skimming on a five-second scroll. Captions get watched by people with the sound off just as much as people who need them. Accessibility isn't a separate lane, it's just better design, and it makes your content easier to read, easier to understand, and easier to engage with for absolutely everyone who sees it.
If you're building content meant to be seen, read, or used by other people, this is the difference between reaching some of them and reaching all of them.
