Best accessibility course? Thoughts about Practical Accessibility.today ?
I want to learn a11y better.
I've already seen a couple of courses, but they all seem really basic and focused only on the theory.
They only focus on "obvious" stuff like color contrast, text sizes and stuff like that, but they never teach you how to actually use those thing in the web.
For example, nobody tells you that using
display: contents might make its children not accessible
The only one that seems pretty good is https://practical-accessibility.today, but it costs almost 500USD, and I'd rather know some reviews on that and know what other options are out there that might be better.
I wasn't able to find many reviews of that, and the ones that I found were just comments under her posts, which makes them a bit biased I think5 Replies

I purchased Sara's course and highly recommend it.
It is expensive though, and the others have posted some excellent resources.
I’ve been wanting to go through Practical Accessibility course too but it’s def outside of the budget 😕
