Accessibility impacts everyone, not just “disabled” users. From contrast to semantics, when you take the time to maximize accessibility, you’re improving every user’s experience. In this session, Kevin Andrews — a certified Web Accessibility Specialist and accessibility expert with over a decade of professional leadership and more than 20 years navigating the web with a screen reader — teams up with Elaine Shannon, a seasoned WordPress developer, to walk through common challenges and their solutions. We’ll break down what developers can fix right now to stop building broken websites: better markup, better navigation, and better contrast. No gatekeeping. No perfectionism. No excuses. You’ll leave knowing exactly where to start — and why it matters.

Speakers: Elaine Shannon, Front-End WordPress Developer, Georgetown University & Kevin Andrews, Electronic IT Accessibility Coordinator, Georgetown University
