If you like what we do at WP Builds, head to our subscribe page, wpbuilds.com forward slash subscribe. Get yourself on our email list, and we will notify you when we produce this. The podcast, it comes out on a Thursday, but also we do the This Week in WordPress show. That comes out on a Tuesday and we record it on a Monday. I've taken a few weeks off, but we should be back on the wagon, hopefully, this coming Monday. We'll have to wait and see how that transpires, but I hope it'll happen.

00:01:18.132 --> 00:01:48.852
But also, and curiously, I am releasing a podcasting app. It is an end-to-end podcasting solution. I'm not revealing too many details about it, but I can assure you if you are even vaguely thinking about running a podcast or already have one, this app does literally everything that you could possibly want to do with your podcast. I say that safe in the knowledge that there's probably a thousand things that it can't do, but you get the point. I'm fairly happy with it and pretty confident about it.

00:01:48.852 --> 00:02:27.492
If you'd like to find out more and get some founders pricing, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get some really incredible discounts on the pricing, we are looking for people to help us out with that. The URL is a bit weird because it's my personal website, nathanrigley.com forward slash app. So nathanrigley.com forward slash app. So Wrigley, by the way, has a W in it. So it's n-a-t-h-a-n-w-r-i-g-l-e-y.com forward slash app. Go there, fill out the form, and we'll let you know. I really, really would urge you to do it. It will be definitely worth your while if you hop on board at the beginning.

00:02:28.252 --> 00:02:56.952
Anyway, there we go. Enough of the self-promotional stuff. If you would like to sponsor WP Builds, head to our Advertise page to find out more about that. WPBuilds.com forward slash Advertise. Okay, what have we got for you today? Well, today I am chatting with Danielle Zarcaro. Danielle talks to us today about accessibility. That is the thing that they have made their life about. Accessibility, obviously very important in the WordPress space, so we get a bit of an introduction to Danielle.

00:05:13.537 --> 00:05:35.297
Can I ask you about the crocheting? I'm so sorry. Does it involve your eyeballs? For example, my mother used to knit and that was like the de-stress, but the knitting was muscle memory. So she could be talking to me whilst knitting. But I get the feeling with crochet, like your eyes have got to be on the object that you're trying to crochet, if you know what I mean.

do it. That's a crazy wobbly line. I love finding out what people do as hobbies, but anyway, we'll wrestle it back to the question in hand, which is accessibility. Can I ask a serious point? You said, I don't know, like eight years ago or five years ago or something like that, you found yourself being interested in accessibility. Why that?

88
00:37:40.910 --> 00:37:58.330
Yeah, <00:37:41.350>like <00:37:41.790>I <00:37:41.930>said, <00:37:42.170>I <00:37:42.210>learned <00:37:42.430>by <00:37:42.610>doing <00:37:42.970>and <00:37:43.510>everything <00:37:43.990>felt <00:37:44.450>a <00:37:44.970>little <00:37:45.330>like <00:37:46.410>sort <00:37:46.770>of <00:37:46.890>fuzzy <00:37:47.290>in <00:37:47.550>terms <00:37:47.790>of <00:37:47.970>a <00:37:48.090>pathway <00:37:48.570>and <00:37:49.690>just <00:37:49.890>sort <00:37:50.050>of <00:37:50.250>doing <00:37:51.210>stuff <00:37:51.590>as <00:37:51.810>you <00:37:51.910>learn <00:37:52.110>them. <00:37:52.350>And <00:37:52.390>so, <00:37:52.570>I <00:37:52.690>wanted <00:37:52.910>to <00:37:53.070>create <00:37:53.370>this <00:37:53.830>sort <00:37:54.150>of <00:37:54.290>easy <00:37:54.670>way <00:37:54.870>for <00:37:55.050>somebody <00:37:55.370>to <00:37:55.710>start <00:37:56.230>to <00:37:56.390>make <00:37:56.650>a <00:37:56.870>site <00:37:57.170>more <00:37:57.750>accessible.
89
00:37:58.610 --> 00:38:30.685
And so, whether that's your own or you're trying it with a client site, a lot of times, you know, if you're an agency, your own site is a good place to start because you can sort of play around with things and you know, not have to worry about it impacting the client. And so, I put together an email-based course. Basically, it sends you a task every Monday that you can do 15 minutes, whatever it is. And then this way, it's on Monday, so you can do it on whatever day you need it to. But it's like 52 weeks of a task that you can do that will, at the end of it, get you a much more accessible site.
90
00:38:30.685 --> 00:38:56.585
And <00:38:30.865>I <00:38:30.965>don't <00:38:31.085>go <00:38:31.225>into <00:38:31.405>anything <00:38:31.765>too <00:38:32.065>advanced. <00:38:32.705>I try <00:38:32.845>to <00:38:32.985>keep <00:38:33.225>it <00:38:33.365>for, <00:38:33.845>like <00:38:34.405>I <00:38:35.025>said, <00:38:35.305>baseline, <00:38:36.105>let <00:38:36.465>everybody <00:38:36.845>be <00:38:37.085>able <00:38:37.285>to <00:38:37.585>do <00:38:38.145>this <00:38:38.425>so <00:38:38.705>you're <00:38:39.405>not <00:38:39.625>necessarily <00:38:40.405>going <00:38:40.885>over <00:38:41.225>an <00:38:41.505>accordion <00:38:41.945>or <00:38:42.225>a <00:38:42.405>slider, <00:38:42.765>but <00:38:43.085>you <00:38:43.225>are <00:38:43.465>going <00:38:43.745>over <00:38:44.025>maybe <00:38:44.305>a <00:38:44.485>lot <00:38:44.585>of <00:38:44.685>the <00:38:44.805>components <00:38:45.225>that <00:38:45.505>make <00:38:45.705>up <00:38:45.825>these <00:38:46.025>things, <00:38:46.545>that <00:38:46.805>hopefully <00:38:47.185>you <00:38:47.725>can <00:38:47.885>either <00:38:48.125>see <00:38:49.445>maybe <00:38:49.945>whether <00:38:50.245>something <00:38:50.525>is <00:38:50.785>accessible, <00:38:51.185>even <00:38:51.525>if <00:38:51.665>you <00:38:51.745>don't <00:38:51.925>necessarily <00:38:52.265>know <00:38:52.425>how <00:38:52.525>to <00:38:52.605>fix <00:38:52.805>it, <00:38:53.145>and <00:38:53.705>be <00:38:53.845>able <00:38:53.985>to <00:38:54.125>sort <00:38:54.265>of <00:38:54.365>evaluate <00:38:54.765>these <00:38:55.065>things <00:38:55.305>before <00:38:55.565>you <00:38:55.745>put <00:38:55.905>them <00:38:56.045>on <00:38:56.185>your <00:38:56.325>site.
91
00:38:57.005 --> 00:39:41.755
A little bit of, like, the decision-making around some of that, like... If you're going to do this, is it this or this? Just sort of helping guide the process of doing this, but doing it yourself. I have this course that I've been trying to do. I love the guy who made it. I love the platform that he made it on. I just can't get myself to sit down and do it. And it's because you sort of have to set aside this time to do it, whereas if I can just be like, here, do this right now for 15 minutes, and then if you want to learn more, most of them have some kind of links at the bottom you can learn about, or you can look it up yourself, or you can email me, you know, you can respond to any of the emails and be like, I don't understand what this means. What are you talking about?
92
00:39:42.235 --> 00:40:27.395
But yeah, so I just tried to put it within a framework that would have worked for me, and that I think is a more hands-on approach to doing that. And so yeah, and I try to like, start at a place that, like we talked about, that has a little bit of a higher impact. So like, your, you know, header site logo. And, you know, but then, like, not just doing the header and we're diving right into, like, mega menus and stuff. So I was trying to, like, I tried to, like, organize it in a thoughtful way and make sure that, like, you're taking on some of those impactful things, but not being too advanced yet and sort of taking you through towards the end where you're sort of talking about, like, a little bit of strategy for implementing it in your marketing, maybe, or, you know, sort of widening the scope of this a little bit.
93
00:40:27.395 --> 00:40:39.595
And so, yeah, it's kineticiris.com slash weekly-accessibility. And it's, yeah, you just sort of sign up. I did add the option to get them all at once, because I had a couple of people ask.
94
00:40:39.595 --> 00:40:40.755
Well, <00:40:39.775>I <00:40:39.895>was <00:40:40.095>just <00:40:40.255>about <00:40:40.475>to <00:40:40.615>say.
95
00:40:41.155 --> 00:41:24.925
And so I was like, yeah, so if you're the kind of person that you're like, I just got to, like, motor through, like, I'm not here to tell you how to learn. You can learn whatever way you learn best. If you're unsure in any way whatsoever, I would encourage the weekly. And then if at some point, halfway through the year, you're like, yeah, forget this, just send me them, you can just, like, ask me, and I'll just send you the rest of them. But I think... Yeah, like, you know, it's your thing. If you want me to, like, send them to you and then, but then you also get the weekly so that you have them. I mean, however you basically want them is how I can provide them to you. They're all sort of, like I said, it's an email-based course, so you can have them all at once. But you get it as a zip. I don't send you 360. I don't send you 52 emails at once. You get them to download.
96
00:41:24.925 --> 00:41:45.285
But <00:41:25.565>yeah, <00:41:26.245>I <00:41:26.645>would <00:41:26.825>encourage <00:41:27.145>that <00:41:27.485>sort <00:41:27.725>of <00:41:27.885>weekly, <00:41:28.325>you <00:41:29.105>know, <00:41:29.625>thing, <00:41:30.065>just <00:41:30.245>to <00:41:30.385>get <00:41:30.565>in <00:41:30.765>the <00:41:31.205>habit <00:41:31.465>of <00:41:31.805>spending <00:41:32.245>a <00:41:32.445>little <00:41:32.545>bit <00:41:32.685>of <00:41:32.785>time <00:41:32.985>each <00:41:33.185>week. <00:41:33.485>Just <00:41:33.585>like <00:41:33.725>anything <00:41:33.965>else, <00:41:34.585>you <00:41:34.645>know, <00:41:34.865>you're <00:41:35.245>trying <00:41:35.405>to <00:41:35.545>market <00:41:35.805>more, <00:41:36.245>you're <00:41:36.325>trying <00:41:36.445>to <00:41:36.585>do <00:41:36.745>things. <00:41:37.205>Any <00:41:37.325>kind <00:41:37.505>of <00:41:37.705>small <00:41:38.365>incremental <00:41:38.765>changes <00:41:39.265>you <00:41:39.485>can <00:41:39.605>make <00:41:39.825>to <00:41:39.985>your <00:41:40.165>own, <00:41:40.525>you <00:41:41.165>know, <00:41:41.445>processes <00:41:41.945>is <00:41:42.425>going <00:41:42.585>to <00:41:42.705>help <00:41:42.905>you. <00:41:43.285>So <00:41:43.405>that's <00:41:43.665>kind <00:41:43.785>of <00:41:43.905>the <00:41:44.025>approach <00:41:44.425>that <00:41:44.905>I <00:41:45.005>took.
97
00:41:45.285 --> 00:42:11.265
So I've been on the internet now for, like, forever, basically, you know. I've never heard that idea. Like, I've never heard of that. Like, a year-long weekly sign-up once, just get a weekly task to do. Why? Like, what the heck? That's such a great idea. Is there some way to like, patent that and then make everybody pay me every time?
98

101
00:43:02.915 --> 00:43:32.255
Real way to incorporate that into what you're doing. You're just like, yeah, okay, I'll get to that. And it just never happens. With so many things, it doesn't even have to be business-related. Any kind of personal development. It feels the gap between learning that you need to do a thing or you should or you want to do a thing and actually doing the thing. There's such a big gap for so many people, myself included, to just get started. So I don't know. It just sort of clicked and I did it.
102
00:43:32.255 --> 00:44:03.535
I think that is, genuinely, I think that's a really genius idea. I know the way it worked for me is that I would get them each week and I would put them in my note-taking app and then I would have like, I don't know, I would maybe tackle like three of them in one go and then the next few would arrive and I'd probably do the same thing. But the fact that they're just sort of just dropping in... And it's kind of like this helpful Monday slot where, you know, you're beginning the week, you maybe got a little bit of extra time that you could map to Thursday or something like that.
103
00:44:03.735 --> 00:44:08.875
Yeah. <00:44:04.215>That's <00:44:04.575>such <00:44:04.895>a <00:44:05.095>neat <00:44:05.595>idea. <00:44:06.295>Honestly, <00:44:06.655>that's <00:44:07.235>genius. <00:44:07.795>I <00:44:08.235>love <00:44:08.635>that.
104
00:44:08.935 --> 00:44:15.255
I <00:44:09.195>appreciate <00:44:09.595>you <00:44:09.775>saying <00:44:09.915>that. <00:44:11.395>You <00:44:11.835>wait, <00:44:12.375>there's <00:44:12.535>going <00:44:12.695>to <00:44:12.755>be <00:44:12.915>some <00:44:13.255>copycats <00:44:14.175>coming <00:44:14.455>off <00:44:14.615>the <00:44:14.735>back <00:44:14.915>of <00:44:15.035>this.
105
00:44:15.635 --> 00:44:22.795
Give <00:44:15.875>us <00:44:16.015>the <00:44:16.155>URL <00:44:16.415>again, <00:44:16.915>because <00:44:17.155>you <00:44:17.415>said <00:44:17.575>it <00:44:17.695>was, <00:44:18.055>so <00:44:18.535>you <00:44:19.275>said <00:44:19.795>it, <00:44:20.155>but <00:44:20.255>you've <00:44:21.575>got <00:44:21.655>to <00:44:21.775>spell <00:44:21.975>it <00:44:22.115>right, <00:44:22.355>I <00:44:22.435>suppose.
106
00:44:22.795 --> 00:44:51.595
Yes, right. So Kinetic Iris is my agency. So Kinetic is like the energy kinetic. The movement, yeah. Yep. And Iris, like the flower or the goddess, and .com. And then it's weekly-accessibility. Okay. So I'm going to spell it. So it's K-I-N-E-T-I-C-I-R-I-S, so Kinetic Iris, .com forward slash, and what was it, weekly hyphen?
107
00:44:51.595 --> 00:44:53.500
Mm-hmm. Accessibility.
108
00:44:53.820 --> 00:45:26.360
Accessibility. Okay, we're definitely putting that into the show notes. So I don't know what episode this will turn out to be on the WP Builds podcast RSS feed, but essentially the best way to do it would be to go to wpbuilds.com, search for Danielle. I don't know that we've had another Danielle on the podcast ever, so that's probably going to get you there. And then you'll be able to find in the show notes towards the bottom, we'll put a link to that in case you, I don't know, you've been listening to this on the train and you've just forgotten all about it. It'll be there.
109
00:45:26.460 --> 00:46:00.840

Oh, I'm loving it. I think that's such a great idea.
113
00:46:52.840 --> 00:47:09.315
Yeah, but also, like, from a creator's point of view, I mean, I don't know how you did it, maybe you wrote all 52 of them off the bat, but from a creator's point of view, so long as you're writing one a week... You're always ahead of the curve. I mean, apart from the few that want the whole download. You probably should do maybe make sure you're at least like five weeks ahead of time.

115
00:47:41.015 --> 00:48:26.920
And so anything that he's, you know, recorded is going to look outdated. Or, you know, if you're trying to teach something in WordPress and they've changed the admin area. And so it just sort of like it helps keep it more up to date without having to like cut up your videos and re-edit and re-record and do all this stuff. And I saw it as a way to like... Like I said, this way I'm able to put out content on something that's pertinent or, you know, whatever, and I don't have to do it and then, like, somebody has to figure out how that fits into the larger picture. I can, like, do that for you, basically, and you can get that update email and then just sort of, if you're, like you said, if you're keeping track of, like, links you like in a document based on this course, then you can, you know, add that link to this area. It's just, it gives somebody more flexibility to learn how they learn.
116
00:48:26.920 --> 00:48:56.760
Yeah. And you get it in an email. So, you don't have to have a membership for anything. You just get an email. Okay. I think we'll knock it on the head there, as we say, in the UK. So, go and check it out. So, Danielle, go and search for that on wpbuilds.com. The search icon's top right, usually. And you'll be able to find that out. That's really interesting. So, first of all, thank you for telling us all about your journey with accessibility and accessibility, he said, unable to say it, but also thank you for that.

But if there's some way that you want to organize it to be able to, like, just give everybody that baseline, I just, I want as many people to be doing things excessively because it's second nature to them and not because they feel like it's a task that they have to check out.
