Pagebuilder Summit 2023 Resources
The promised links
Great to have you here. It means you have seen my talk at the 2023 Page Builder Summit. I’m very honored and hope I was able to inspire you on your accessibility journey.
Before all else, I would love to tell you that the accessibility talk that Alicia St Rose gave at the Summit on Wednesday, September 20, is a wonderful addition to what I told you in my presentation. It’s called Let’s Keep It A11y! Accessibility Perspectives and Tips to Open your site to Everyone. And I recommend you watch the presentation by Gen Herres, called The Best Builder Elements for Accessibility.
If you look for numbers on accessibility, and you wish to be educated as to why the number of people depending on accessibility is much higher than most assume, you will want to watch this one! She also gives very valuable, practical advice on page builder elements and what to look for.
Need more time?
It will give you unlimited access to all talks, so you can watch all of these golden presentations whenever it suits you.
Captions & transcript
After someone mentioned on Twitter / X that she could not active captions, I decided to make a quick video tutorial how to activate the closed captions and where to get the transcript. The link will take you to YouTube.

Why I promote fellow accessibility specialists
There is no competition in accessibility

This was a post I wrote on LinkedIn, after someone quite aggressively asked why I promote my fellow accessibility specialists and advocates.
