Live Accessibility Remediation with Brian Coords
·OnlineOnlineJoin us for round two of live accessibility remediation with Brian Coords! In this meetup, Amber and Brian will continue improving the accessibility of Brian's podcast website, webmasters.fm. They'll identify common accessibility issues using both automated and manual testing tools, explain why these issues matter to users with disabilities, and demonstrate how to resolve them directly in the WordPress editor or through code. You’ll see practical examples of improving markup, site structure, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and more — all with clear explanations that developers, designers, and content creators can follow.
