WordPress Accessibility Meetup: UX, UI and Accessibility: The Perfect Trio with Shannon Towell on Monday, April 21, 2025.

Good design isn’t just about making things look nice. It’s about making your products easy to use and accessible for everyone. In this presentation, Shannon Towell, a seasoned Experience Designer, will break down the key things to watch for when building a website to ensure it’s user-friendly and inclusive. We’ll take a website, audit it, and improve it step by step, updating its branding and layout to make it clearer and easier to use. Then, we’ll explore how data can guide better design decisions and how UX applies beyond websites—helping museums and cultural institutions create more accessible, engaging experiences. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or just curious about better digital experiences, this session will give you practical takeaways to use in your own work.

These meetups take place via Zoom and are live captioned. You must register to attend via Zoom.
