accessiblity

Since 2016 I work on making web more accessible by viewing frontend development as one of the strongest tools we have in this metier.The web once was an idea to make contents and knowledge accessible to all - decades later, this still does not apply.
Besides filter bubbles, paid contents and hidden contents, in germany alone, 80% of the e-commerce platforms are not accessible.
Elder people, people with disabilities such as motoric or visually, people with concentration issues, colorblind, deaf or people with dyslexia -
the internet should be usable for all and I, together with a great community of other accessibility developers and concepters, aim to make the web more accessible to all.

Especially in e-commerce, but also on legal sites and whereever sensitive data is being processed, it's so important to give people the choice what they want to buy not what they can buy; what they want to achieve and not what they can achieve. It is about ensuring people don't make any false spendings or abonnements or sharing data they never planned to. Besides accessible frontend development and technical considerations, I develop concepts for working in teams aiming accessibility, create workflows, critically check AI tools and concept tests, checks, shops and pages.
