Digital technology is for everyone… or is it?
summary
The talk presents concrete accessibility gaps in French digital services (administrative sites, ticketing/name-validation) that exclude about 35% of the population and proposes practical fixes. Recommendations include adding alt text for images, using Microsoft’s accessibility toolkit and Figma accessibility resources, simulating slow networks with a Chrome throttling plugin, simplifying legal text with FALC (French Easy to Read), annotating design-system components, and auditing color contrast, keyboard navigation, and other accessibility aspects.
