A fantastic list of accessibility myths. And we’ll add that not only does optimizing for accessibility improve the website experience for all visitors, it’s also better for SEO, including AISO/GEO. Win, win, win!

How blessed are we to have this wonderful overlap of the current cultural zeitgeist and labour rights 🫶🏻

On this 14th annual #GlobalAccessibilityAwarnessDay here's a throwback to our founder, @sashaendoh.com's talk on practical #accessibility: endoh.co/sashas-talk-...
It's a great introduction for designers, developers, and content managers. Here's to making a truly inclusive web!
No shade but out of the last 30 nonprofit websites I visited that use WordPress:
- 45% are running version 6.7.1 or older, which means they haven't been updated at all in 2025
- 28% are running a version below 6.7, which means they're two major releases behind.
Which is a security concern!

Our founder @sashaendoh.com attended an energizing and strengthening Progress Summit last week. Thank you to @broadbent.bsky.social for bringing together smart, passionate, and wonderful progressives to discuss and take on today's crises. Much needed and much to reflect on in these dark times.
Our founder is attending @broadbent.bsky.social’s Progress Summit this week. Come say hi to them and chat about websites, design, accessibility, and righteous feminist rage! #Broadbent2025
Bonne Journée internationale de la Francophonie!
“only 22% of nonprofits have websites designed for those with visual and hearing disabilities” feels like a wild statistic when we see clients more and more on board and adamant about adhering to accessibility standards. More work to be done sector-wide!
Love moves us to fight for what truly matters. In our #union, that love is for dignity, fairness, and equality! We will never stop working to ensure everyone is treated with respect and #justice. Happy Valentine's Day! May your lives be filled with #love and #solidarity!
