Online: christopherschmitt.com | twitter | facebook | flickr About The Sessions Is Universal Design Still Possible? by Matt May The web platform has changed a lot over the last few years. Barely three years ago\, the iPhone was the biggest challenge for practitioners of universal design. In 2010\, though\, there are phones\, tablets\, new browsers and almost innumerable operating systems\, each with their own capabilities and limits. Not to mention the needs and preferences of seniors and people with disabilities. How can you create beautiful sites that are accessible by mouse\, keyboard\, touch and screen reader\, while using the best features of HTML5 and CSS3? We will apply the lessons of the iPhone and iPad\, learn about the challenges of HTML5\, and see what is necessary to create a single site for everyone.
