This year’s WordPress Accessibility Day is a 24-hour virtual conference, livestreaming for free starting October 9. WP Accessibility Day is dedicated to exploring best practices in accessible design for WordPress websites, and Project6 is honored to show our support as a Bronze-Level Sponsor of the event.

Accessible Design is a constantly-evolving knowledge set, with research into diverse abilities and advances in technology leading to an ever-greater potential to reach more people. This rapid evolution also increases the importance for designers, developers, and agencies to stay up to speed. Professionals need to continuously upskill, in order to build inclusive experiences that meet clients’ needs and serve their end-users.

Project6 is an accessibility design leader, with expertise in crafting frictionless experiences that are true-to-brand—and functional for as many people as possible. With 23 years of specialization in brand, print, and web design, we are particularly skilled at integrating Accessible Best Practices for clients such as Foundations and Nonprofit Organizations and Educational Institutions, where accessibility is of primary importance.

“As a nonprofit legal center serving the needs of people with disabilities, we are pleased with Project6 Design’s talent in development and design, which culminated in a website that is fully accessible and allows us to present our work and its impact in a professional and engaging manner.”

—Larry Paradis, Executive Director and Co-Director of Litigation

Best practices in accessibility impact every touchpoint of the website design and development process. From experts skilled in Color Contrast and Heading Structure, to ARIA Landmarks and Semantic HTML—every member of the workflow plays a critical role in the success of an accessible digital experience. This is why Project6 is proud to champion WP Accessibility Day, as both an exciting and impactful event.
