### Session 1: Website Accessibility – Don't Give Your Clients a Choice!
🗣 Speaker: Louise Towler
Accessibility isn’t optional—it’s essential. Louise Towler will explain why making WordPress websites accessible should be a non-negotiable part of your workflow. She’ll share key accessibility standards like WCAG, practical testing tools, and insights from Indigo Tree’s approach to building inclusive websites.
Let’s shift the conversation from "Why do this?" to "Why not?" and empower you with the confidence to create websites that work for everyone.
### Session 2: How We Built the Kimbolton School Website with Full Site Editing
🗣 Speakers: Mark Wilkinson & Keith Devon
Full Site Editing (FSE) is transforming WordPress development. Mark Wilkinson and Keith Devon will take you behind the scenes of their first FSE-powered project: the new Kimbolton School website.
Learn how they tackled significant challenges, built custom blocks, optimised block styles, and leveraged advanced CSS techniques to deliver a modern, flexible site. If you’re considering an FSE project, this session will provide valuable insights and lessons learned.
