When websites, technologies, or tools are poorly designed, they can create barriers that exclude people with disabilities from using the web.

In this course, you’ll learn how accessibility lowers the barrier to entry, by providing equal access and opportunity to people with a diverse range of hearing, movement, sight, and cognitive abilities. Once you learn the foundations, you’ll find that the benefits of accessibility–enhanced search, improved usability, and increased audience reach–aid your designs almost as much as they aid your users.

WordPress has come a long way since the first version in 2003. What started as simple blogging software has become a full-fledged content management system used by companies large and small all over the world. One of the biggest changes came in 2018 with the introduction of blocks, which fundamentally changed how you edit content in WordPress. Now, a variety of block types—headings, images, quotes, and more—are used to create rich content. In this course, Carrie Dils takes a look at the next big change coming to WordPress, full-site editing. With full-site editing, the block editor is used for all aspects of the site, not just the content area. Headers, footers, and sidebars alike can be formatted and populated with blocks. While full-site editing is still in the early stages of development and adoption, if you’re a WordPress developer, this first-look course provides a good introduction to the concepts and a way for you to get ready when full-site editing officially lands.
