Hey guys, we’re really glad to welcome Web Accessibility expert Graham Armfield\u00a0from the UK.<\/p>\n
Graham is a\u00a0Web Accessibility Consultant for his\u00a0own company Coolfields Consulting. He helps organisations improve the accessibility of their websites, and works with them to embed accessibility into their business processes. He also develops accessible WordPress websites for small to medium sized businesses and charities. He’s\u00a0an active member of the Make WordPress Accessible team, and has\u00a0spoken about web accessibility at quite a few WordCamps. He’s\u00a0also led accessibility groups at WordPress contributor days.<\/p>\n
When not making the web a more accessible place you might find him\u00a0playing his\u00a0guitar and writing songs. He turned his\u00a0back on the rock lifestyle a few years ago, but now performs his\u00a0songs solo at open mic nights near where he lives.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0was born many moons ago in South London, and he hasn’t\u00a0strayed very far from there since – he now lives in Surrey with his\u00a0wife and young daughter.<\/p>\n
WordCamp Europe is almost here, so stay tuned to the most recent developments from the organising team on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and\u00a0Google +<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey guys, we’re really glad to welcome Web Accessibility expert Graham Armfield\u00a0from the UK.
