Five Simple Things That I Learned from WordPress Accessibility Day 2024
This month I had the pleasure of attending and being part of WordPress Accessibility Day 2024 as a moderator, and I was able to attend various learning sessions as well. Accessibility is something that I wanted to learn more about as a small business owner, and through this experience I was able to learn many things about the standards and principles, which is what I share in today’s episode.
In today’s episode, you’ll discover:
A brief overview of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines [WCAG] international standards and where you can learn more about them.
What the four main principles of WCAG are.
Best practices for writing web content that is easy to understand and navigate.
The importance of sensory awareness in website design to accommodate users with certain disabilities.
Anchor text and why it is important to be descriptive in this area.
How to incorporate accessibility into your website's design and branding.
Insights I gained into real-world examples of accessible website practices.
If you are an expert in the accessibility space these might be very basic things to you, but for others that are closer to the beginning of their journey learning more about accessibility, it is my intention that some of what I share today may impact you in a slightly different way and that you gain even more perspective and value from the resources listed below.
