Anne Mieke presenting on web accessibility to the ManageWP team

@bovelett.bsky.social
dropped by our office today! Reviewed our new website and... she found the good, the bad, and the fixable! The team was thrilled to meet her, learn from her, and have a real talk on #WebAccessibility, no fluff, just facts! #A11y

Thank you! ❤️ We were blessed with an amazing team!

Hehehe! Yeah.

😂😂😂

Ah jah, schön!

Häh?

I called WCAG dryer than the Sahara in summer. Now I need to come up with a stronger analogy for this.
And then maybe we can join forces in the accessibility community to make the info easier to consume.

Oh yeah. It’s a pain!

Do you think you're not fit (yet) to apply as a speaker at WordCamp Europe? Here's some solid encouragement from a seasoned speaker who once was beginner too, like all speakers in the world!

The Call for Speakers for #WCEU closes January 31! Are you in doubt about applying? Do you think you’re not fit (yet)? I wrote something for you, last year.

Ah, I understand. Thank you! 🤗

Hey, Blue Sky! 👋 I spent about 30 minutes digging, searching, and finding familiar names to follow in #WordPress and #Accessibility.

But, I'm sure I missed some of you. If I did, throw me a comment or a follow, and I'll return the favor!

I didn’t know you made this! Will be so glad to install it on geekonheels.com., and write about it. Does it also add the alt text set on the featured image?

A view through a window at sunset, showcasing a vibrant purple and pink sky with streaks of orange and blue. In the foreground, there is a silhouette of a church steeple with a weather vane, as well as a building with a pitched roof and arched windows. To the right, the outlines of tall, leafless trees add depth to the scene.

Good morning, 2025. My year starts with immense gratitude. Towards the nurses, doctors and supporting staff with endless patience, kindness and great sense of humor.

Meh, the window is not as big as the one that I had before, but from here I also will have a pretty good view of the fireworks tonight. If I don’t fall asleep early, that is. Have a great New Year’s Eve everyone, I wish you all a wonderful 2025. 🤞

Brilliant tutorial!

😂 macht Achim auch immer.

Screenshot of the MAMP Pro interface showing a list of local sites in the sidebar, including names such as “greyd-demo,” “divi-demo.local,” “elementor-pro-demo.local,” and “demo.greyd.” The highlighted site is “demo.greyd,” with its settings displayed on the right.

Every single time. I need it fast, save an installation with a certain name in @mamp-pro.bsky.social, 100% convinced that I will still know what it was about later. And then I don't remember later, and make a new one instead of checking it out. Anyone with a practical naming convention tips?

That! And @michaelandreuzza.com, websites are functional. The way to go from being a regular graphic web designer to a great, conversion-driven web designer is seeing accessible design as a cool challenge, to increase conversion.

Accessibility Misinformation Misinformation is quite the thing these days. Now it seems to be working its way into the accessibility space.

Accessibility Misinformation: Todd Libby debunks some misinformation circulating around accessibility and contrasts. “TL;DR: WCAG 3 and APCA are not approved standards and won't be for many, many years.”

Is there life after page builders? Yes, there sure is!

Happy to be in the Swiss Alps again.

Yes, it is. Saying that something is an image is redundant, but saying what kind of image can be important. I know your question was posted two months ago, and I hope you found the answer way before I replied here (for future readers).
