We’re reaching out to highlight an annual event that’s message is close to our hearts and a part of every website we roll out here at Total WP Support which is Global Accessibility Awareness Day.
On the third Thursday of May in each year it is a day to acknowledge the importance of digital accessibility and inclusion for the over one billion people worldwide who live with disabilities and to assess our own websites to gauge their level of accessibility as well as compliance with our own regional accessibility related laws.
Why is GAAD important as a website owner?
Digital accessibility is not just about adhering to laws or following best practices, it’s about making sure that our websites are a place where everyone can fully participate, regardless of disability. Every website plays a role in creating an accessible and inclusive environment for everyone.
HOW CAN WE ENSURE OUR WEBSITES ARE ACCESSIBLE?

Here at Total WP Support we have partnered with Accessibe, empowering us to provide WordPress website accessibility ongoing compliance and monitoring for any website, big or small.
