WordPress Meetup: Design & Accessibility

The WordPress Helsinki meetup group aims to bring together people of all skill levels, from beginners to people who work with WordPress on a daily basis.

Summer is over and we’re ready to kick-off our talks again with two brilliant speakers from our local community.

This month Sami Keijonen will show us how to make navigation elements such as drop-down, off-canvas and full-screen menus more accessible to mobile, keyboard, and screen reader users, while Liisa Benmergui will talk about designer & developer collaboration.

17:15 – Doors open
17:30 – Opening words

We’ve booked SC5’s auditorium which is located on the 6th floor in Kamppi at Urho Kekkosen Katu 7B, 00100 Helsinki. Drinks & snacks will be provided by Seravo (https://seravo.fi).
