In this webinar, we will share how we have been making the case for accessibility and how we have made the EMBL-EBI home page move to the top 1% for accessibility among the 1,000,000 most visited home pages in 2023. We will include practical tips on how to incorporate accessibility in the design and development process and share the lessons that we learned.
