At the Institute of Accessible Technology (IAT), we believe that building a website
should be something everyone can learn — including people who use screen readers. This resource
introduces beginners to how websites are created using HTML and CSS,
and shows how the process can be made fully accessible with the help of popular screen readers like
NVDA and JAWS.
What This Page Covers
- A simple introduction to how HTML and CSS work together to form the structure and appearance of a website.
- How screen readers interpret web pages, and why using clean, well-organized code makes a big difference for blind and low-vision users.
- Practical tips to help new learners understand how to navigate code, write basic website layouts, and test their work using NVDA or JAWS.
Why This Is Important
Learning web design with a screen reader opens doors for more people to participate in the digital
world — whether for education, employment, or personal projects. This page encourages beginners to
explore website development with confidence, showing that accessible tools and the right guidance
can make the learning journey smooth and inclusive.
