In this episode of The WP Minute podcast, Eric Karkovack discusses the importance of web accessibility with experts Adrienne Grace and Isla Waite. They preview the upcoming WP Accessibility Day (October 15-16, 2025) and share its diverse lineup of sessions. They also examine common mistakes in web accessibility, the challenge of finding accessible themes and plugins, and why AI can’t replace human oversight.

Takeaways:

  • Web accessibility is both a moral and legal obligation.
  • WP Accessibility Day is a global event focused on accessibility education.
  • Color contrast is a common issue in web design.
  • Forms should have visible labels, not just placeholder text.
  • Accessibility should be considered from the beginning of the design process.
  • AI can assist but should not replace human judgment in accessibility.
  • Training clients is essential for maintaining accessible websites.
  • Accessibility Checker plugins can help identify issues.
  • Inclusive design benefits everyone, not just those with disabilities.
