    I get so bummed when I find a cool block plugin I want to use and then check the demo and it's completely keyboard inaccessible. 🙁 <buttons> are not supposed to be <divs>! And if they are, don't intentionally hide them from screen readers.

    Chrome dev tools open on a website showing an image carousel with inaccessible previous and next buttons. There is an arrow pointing at the code for the button which is built with a div containing an SVG that has been hidden from screen readers with aria-hidden="true".

    You can’t actually empower someone. You can foster environments where people empower themselves. If you think you can empower someone, it’s because you still have power to keep or give. Empowerment comes from within.

    Blaming screen readers for not understanding your weird bunny head made of parentheses and slashes is easy, but also the wrong take. Unless your intent is to annoy and exclude their users. In which case, 👍.

    Me pretty much every time I hear that an overlay will solve all your web issues. Hint don’t buy it. Not only do they not fix all the issues they can create new barriers. Teach people how to make their stuff accessible by default.

    Injecting <style> rules between blocks breaks CSS like .element1 + .element2 and .element:last-child. And some other annoying side effects using theme.json file.

    If we did plugin audits during the WordPress Accessibility Meetup, would any plugin devs volunteer to have us audit their plugin live? It would be a great way to get free feedback and recommendations for fixes and would help attendees learn how to do audits.

    Nothing says “we don’t care about accessibility” like sending accessibility feedback to the legal department.

    Screenshot: We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of G/O Media, Inc. Please let us know if you encounter accessibility barriers on any of our websites: E-mail: legal@g-omedia.com
    Reported an issue over the weekend and was reminded of a pet hate: Companies putting their accessibility commitment firmly in their legal department. : I invite you to ask your parent company to make accessibility about your users, not lawyers

    There is no doubt these folks are scammy as Karl says: Both & have the same two people with zero credentials, content is written for SEO, information is wrong, and they favor overlays. Resellers, scammers, liars, ?

    Replying to @topwebchecker @AccessiBe
    Funny little fake website put up by here to fool people. The "team of experts" listed don't really exist. There is no "Hester Hoog" anywhere that I can find and "Nuraen Isa" only appears on LinkedIn, as far as I can tell, and has 11 connections.

    You're a developer. Imagine if one day you woke up after someone in your team redesigned your app so that it was only accessible via the keyboard, had black-on-black text and you had to use a screen-reader to navigate it. You'd be livid wouldn't you?
