Accessible Alternatives to Carousels & Slideshows | Upcoming Webinar
We’ve all encountered carousels on the internet; they’ve been a staple of web design for decades. Whether it’s a hero gallery on a homepage or a product slider on a shop, they are everywhere. But just because they’re common doesn’t mean they’re accessible.
By their very nature, most carousels are “moving targets.” Between auto-playing slides, tiny navigation dots, and hidden focus states, they often create a frustrating experience for users with disabilities.
Displaying content differently almost always creates a better experience for everyone. However, we know that sometimes a carousel is a project requirement. Join us as we break down:
- Common pitfalls and first-hand stories from interacting with carousels
- Best alternatives for displaying content
- Implementation techniques: ARIA design patterns required to make carousels conformant
Join us on April 9, 2026, at 2 PM EST! Bring any questions for the Q&A session after this short free webinar.
