SPECIAL INVITATION FOR ALL DIVI MEETUP MEMBERS HOSTED BY THE DIVI ATLANTA GROUP
Noted WordPress accessibility specialist, Sumner Davenport, joins greater Los Angeles-area web developer, Ron Amick, to shine some light on accessibility on a Divi website and the quest to make web pages available and functional for all potential visitors, including those with disabilities.
With just a little bit of effort, your Divi WordPress website can be user-friendly to over 25% of all possible viewers who currently report a disability in one or more of these areas: visual, auditory, physical, speech, language, cognitive, learning, neurological.

Their presentation will include:
• The increased value of an Accessible Divi site
