A More Accessible WordPress

Web accessibility has been a hot topic recently. Making the web more accessible for everyone is something that most people would agree is a good idea, but not everyone knows how to make that happen. We’re going to be talking with a group of people who are passionate about making it easier to access the web for everyone, regardless of their physical limitations. Because WordPress powers more than 20% of the web, it seems like the perfect place to start pushing for a more accessible web. If you build client sites or WordPress themes, this is an episode you need to pay particular attention. In some countries, laws which require accessibility to be implemented are even starting to be passed. Recently, Smashing Magazine published an article on mobile accessibility and why it matters. In that piece, they cover a lot of the basic things that can be done to help improve usability on your website. There are already a few plugins in the repository which attempt to make WordPress conform to accessibility standards, but in order for a site to truly be accessible, best practices need to be implemented throughout the site. We’re going to find out exactly what needs to be done to make a site accessible and what you can do to start moving towards making sure everyone can use the websites you create. Come join us Tuesday at 1pm and learn about what you can change on your website or in your workflow to make your work easy for everyone to enjoy!
