Join us as Alex Stine, Engineer & Accessibility Consultant, and Amber Hinds, CEO of Equalize Digital, perform a live accessibility audit of the AccessAlly Plugin and provide real-time feedback.
The presentation will demonstrate how to manually audit WordPress plugins for accessibility while providing real-time feedback to help the AccessAlly team improve their plugin. In addition to identifying areas of improvement, Alex and Amber will provide recommendations for fixes.
This meetup is part of a series where we provide live feedback to WordPress plugin and theme developers. Our goal with these meetups is to provide useful feedback to developers so they can improve the accessibility of their products and, in turn, all of the websites that use them. Want your product tested? Contact an organizer.
These meetups take place via Zoom and are live captioned. You must register to attend via Zoom.
It’s a powerful WordPress plugin for scaling online businesses through courses, group coaching, and memberships.
Alex Stine
Accessibility Consultant and Engineer, Waystar
Alex got his start in Web Development thanks to WordPress by starting off in Tech Support, moving into Accessibility Development, and finally managing the underlying infrastructure that WordPress self-hosted sites run on. Not long after starting in Tech Support, Alex lost what vision he had and is now completely blind. This was the single event that motivated him to enter the accessibility world. Helping others have the same access to information.
Amber Hinds
Meetup Organizer and CEO, Equalize Digital
Amber is the CEO of Equalize Digital, a certified B corp specializing in WordPress accessibility and maker of the Accessibility Checker plugin. She is the lead organizer of our meetup.
