Tell us about yourself and your work! We’d love to hear about your work with the recent A11Y Collective training.

What qualifications do you have that have influenced your work?

A big part of accessible code is semantic and error-free HTML. It’s simply a part of the code quality.

Stop!

Why accessibility? What does accessibility mean to you?

How has your approach to accessibility changed over time?

We’re a Drupal web agency. Tell us about what WordPress is doing with regard to accessibility improvements…

You’ve been immersed with WordPress for an impressive number of years. How has accessibility influenced the CMS over the years?

Label maker type stickers with the wording “what if this is all real?” printed.

How would you convince someone that accessibility is important?

You’re in a unique position of consulting people about accessibility. What anecdotes or stories do you like to tell?

What is your opinion (or experience) of inclusion and diversity within the WordPress community?

What challenges have you come up against in your career? This can be personally, or technically.

An iPhone on a wooden desk with cardboard symbols for likes, comments and friend requests beside it.
Social media changes so quickly

What advice would you give to a woman starting out in tech that you wish you’d been told?
