In today’s digital age, accessibility is no longer optional—it’s essential. This talk focuses on the importance of creating WordPress websites that are inclusive and accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. Whether you’re a developer, designer, content creator, or site owner, incorporating accessibility best practices ensures your website is usable by a wider audience, improves user experience, and aligns with global web standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Suvasini Shrestha will guide you through practical, beginner-friendly strategies to implement accessibility in WordPress without requiring advanced coding skills. The talk will cover key principles such as semantic HTML, proper heading structure, color contrast, keyboard navigation, and use of alt text for images. She’ll also introduce useful tools and plugins—like the WordPress Accessibility Checker and accessible themes—that make testing and improving your site easier.

Drawing from her extensive experience as a web developer, designer, and accessibility advocate, Suvasini will share real-world examples, common mistakes to avoid, and tips for building WordPress sites that are inclusive from the start.

This session is ideal for anyone who wants to create content and designs that don’t exclude users with visual, auditory, cognitive, or mobility impairments. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of why accessibility matters, how to identify accessibility issues, and how to take simple, effective steps toward making the web a more inclusive place.
