Democratizing Accessibility: WordCamp US Showcase
At Equalize Digital, we’re passionate about making the web accessible for everyone. In September, we were honored to be invited to present at WordCamp US 2024 Showcase Day and share our journey creating our Accessibility Checker plugin for WordPress.
Showcase Day was a new addition to WordCamp US this year, highlighting the best of what WordPress can do, from groundbreaking features on enterprise websites to innovative business integrations. Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker was one of the first sessions to start the day, with Equalize Digital’s CEO, Amber Hinds, and CTO, Steve Jones, presenting.
