<p>I am proud that the European Union chose Optimizely as the only CMS to make accessible CMS page- and block templates for. Use and adapt the free code to help your customers create accessible sites. Accessible sites means:</p>
<ul>
<li>That customers easier can take part of the content,</li>
<li>Which also means that the site will be compliable with accessibility laws as well as</li>
<li>Rank higher on the search engines.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Win-win-win!</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />Accessible templates</strong></p>
<p>The European Union choose Optimizely for an accessibility project. The templates are free to use as a starting point when developers create templates. <br /><a href="https://protect-de.mimecast.com/s/NqBJCQkoL4F3zg1zIkNxUN?domain=eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com">https://www.optimizely.com/apps/feat---templates-with-built-in-accessibility/</a></p>

The workshop is one of the best ways to prepare for the Commerce 13 certification exams!</p>
<p>In some cases we can’t offer a workshop but you still have the chance to do the certification exam. Please note that the exams are at the same time in the same room so you can only do one of the certification exams: either CMS or Commerce.</p>
<p>Due to logistical reasons and depending on the needs of each market the setup and offer differs slightly.</p>
<p>The sessions will act as primers for attendees who wish to attempt the Episerver Developer Certification Exam for the Episerver Certified Developer (ECD) credential. The format of this sessions will be instructor led reviewing of sample exam areas with various demonstrations of answer solutions. The goal is to help qualified candidates get a concentrated review/knowledge refresh of exam topics. The topics covered will match the knowledge areas tested on the Commerce 13 whichever is applicable at that particular event. The intended audience for this session is developers enrolled in the CMS Developer Subscription that are ready to attempt the exam but feel they could benefit from a concentrated review. The sessions are four hours including lunch.</p>
