WooCommerce and Accessibility: Bet Hannon and Meg Miller
eCommerce sites have a lot of user interaction and therefore a lot of potential for accessibility issues. This presentation by team members from AccessiCart, an agency that specializes in accessibility and eCommerce, will look at the accessibility of the base WooCommerce plugin, some of its popular plugins, and offer some advice for choosing more accessible add-on plugins.

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

Meg Miller

Having also grown up with a disabled sister, they found themself also drawn to others with disabilities throughout life. Web accessibility is not a trend or a fear of a lawsuit for Meg, but a logical collision of two lifelong passions.
