Why Overnight Website by Kinetic Iris Supports WordPress Accessibility Day
Accessibility is fundamental to creating websites. It should be a consideration at every point in a company’s process, from branding to websites to social media posts and more. But it can also be intimidating, especially when there are already so many things to consider for each of those things. It can be tempting to wait for people to tell you when something is wrong and you can try to fix it then. But that leaves an entire population of people left out, including the people who just scroll by or click away instead of reporting the issues they’re having.
It’s important for them as a company to spread the message that it doesn’t have to be intimidating and that it’s better for everyone if accessibility is part of the conversation from the start.
Supporting an organization and community that seeks to spread that message and provides information and training for all types of audiences was a no-brainer.
