Makarand Mane has spent years building WordPress websites — converting designs into functional, good-looking sites — without ever stopping to think about accessibility. In this honest, first-person session, he shares the moment he realised the sites he was proud of were failing a significant portion of users. He walks through the most common accessibility mistakes developers make when focused purely on visual output: missing alt text, broken heading structures, inaccessible forms and navigation, and poor keyboard support. More importantly, he shares the simple, practical changes he made to his own workflow that didn’t require becoming an accessibility expert overnight. This talk is for every WordPress developer who has ever shipped a site and wondered — was that actually usable for everyone?
