IAAP certified pros: Has certification increased your opportunities?
I have been developing accessible websites for five years as a freelancer. Some clients seek standards compliance, others don't. Although I love educating clients and getting them on a pathway to standards, I want to be doing all accessible work to standard all the time.
I am looking at the CPACC then adding the WAS for the CPWA combo. What do you think?

Calling all #WordPress users, especially those passionate about #Accessibility! I need advice: My current contact form on this page of my #Website (laniecarmelo.tech/connect-with…) is very basic. I'm using WPForms Lite, but improving it would require manually adding fields since advanced features are locked behind their premium plan.
I’ve tried the Fluent Forms plugin, but I didn’t find it accessible. Can anyone recommend a free, #Accessible contact form plugin that allows for creating more robust forms? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I belive that this is the first government-wide scan of USA states for web accessibility. The report averages over 34,000 state government web pages to create a meaningful snapshot of how inclusive government sites are.

Meet Andre Louis, a music producer and blind screen reader user who can be found playing jazz clubs in London, streaming his performance using Meta Glasses.
In our latest post in our series on disabled people’s experiences browsing the web, Andre tells us about his love of consistent design and dislike of accessibility overlays.

I am currently working on #accessibility in #forgejo. And I discovered a problem with focus where it is not possible to navigate the page with "tab", a dropdown makes the focus skip to the end of the page and you end up in a loop.
Can someone recommend ways or tools to debug focus in webbrowsers? I have a hard time to see how the focus skips there. Any hints are welcome.
Thank you.
Update: moved this to my new writing site so there’s a new URL.
Every hashtag on every post on every platform should always be pascal case. I wrote this to illustrate how screenreaders read hashtags based on their case.
It’s a small thing that all of us can do to build a more inclusive, accessible internet for all. Please take the time to use pascal case.
