41 Reports Later, WooCommerce Talks Accessibility | Thomson & Scott Noughty Non Alcoholic Sparkling Chardonnay
What does it take to make 41 WooCommerce extensions more accessible? James Kemp, Core Product Manager at WooCommerce, joins Amber Hinds and Steve Jones to discuss the work behind 41 Accessibility Conformance Reports, from getting buy-in and prioritizing plugins to coordinating fixes across development teams. They explore how the European Accessibility Act helped motivate the project, why older plugins can hide unexpected issues, and how public reports help merchants make informed choices.

Practical Accessibility Magic: Spells, Curses, and False Promises | Blue Owl Brewing "Lime in the Coconut" Milkshake Sour DIPA
Is there such a thing as practical accessibility magic? Inspired by October, Practical Magic, and a “Lime in the Coconut” Milkshake Sour DIPA from Blue Owl Brewing, Amber, Chris, and Steve open their "spellbooks" and dive in... They’re looking for the changes that can make a real difference to a website's accessibility conformance. Speaking of conformance levels, the conversation begins with the latest WCAG 3 draft. What might replace the familiar A, AA, and AAA conformance levels? How could reporting change? Listen, or read, to find out. Then, our hosts put accessibility overlays under the “spell or curse?” test. The conversation draws on recent overlay research, accessibility guidance, and lawsuit data, but it also makes room for the people who installed a widget because they genuinely thought it would help. And it isn't all about overlays, we talk about 5+ fixes that you can start implementing right now that are so impactful, the usability improvements can feel a bit like practical magic. Finally, the team discusses AI-assisted captions, translations, accessibility testing, and development, because these days what conversation is complete without a mini AI-related side tangent?

Chapters - Introduction - Today's Beverage - WCAG 3 Latest Draft: Our Reactions - Practical Accessibility Magic Overview - Brought to you by Accessibility Checker - Spell, or Curse? We Talk About Overlays! - Better Ingredients for Your "Magic" Accessibility Potions - Can AI Help Us Cast Our Accessibility "Spells" Faster, Better?

Website Redesign Phase 1: Accessibility in Figma | Spindrift Blood Orange Black Tea
What does it actually take to design a modern, accessible website from the ground up? In this episode of Accessibility Craft, we’re pulling back the curtain on the Equalize Digital website redesign. We talk about how we selected a design partner, why our original design budget nearly doubled, and how accessibility requirements were built into the process before the first Figma designs ever arrived. We also dig into accessibility QA during the design phase, and Steve shares some early thoughts on how the designs will become a modular, performant WordPress build. Before all that, we preview WordPress Accessibility Day 2026 and taste Spindrift Tea in Blood Orange, a still brewed iced tea with real fruit juice that inspires some surprisingly strong opinions.

WordPress Accessibility Day 2026 is coming October 7–8, and this episode takes you behind the scenes of how its speakers, sessions, and keynote came together. Ryan Bracey, Director of Web Development and User Experience at Second Melody and Speaker Team Lead for WordPress Accessibility Day, joins Amber and Chris to talk about the hidden work that goes into reviewing 88 speaker submissions, anonymizing proposals to reduce bias, building a diverse schedule, and balancing technical, business, design, and lived-experience perspectives. Ryan also previews some of the sessions he is most excited about, including this year’s keynote from GitHub Head of Accessibility Ed Summers. And everyone previews what excites them personally, with a wide range of upcoming talks covering AI, accessible development workflows, WooCommerce onboarding, remediation pushback, and accessibility ownership after launch. For the craft portion of Accessibility Craft, the group gets into the fall spirit with a Vienna-style lager from Austin’s Fast Friends Beer Company.
