Making WordPress accessible isn’t just about ticking boxes or meeting WCAG guidelines – it’s about creating digital experiences that work for everyone, regardless of how they interact with your website.
As Head of Experience at Illustrate Digital, I’ve seen firsthand how thoughtful, inclusive design can transform a website from a source of frustration into an empowering tool. And in regulated sectors like finance, legal, and professional services, where clarity and usability are paramount, getting accessibility right isn’t optional – it’s essential.
At WordPress Accessibility Day 2024, I had the privilege of sharing practical strategies that WordPress professionals can implement to create more inclusive digital experiences. My presentation focused on moving beyond basic compliance to build websites that are genuinely frustration-free for all users.
