GoDaddy: Contributing to Web Accessibility and Inclusive Design

GoDaddy recognizes the critical importance of website accessibility and is dedicated to supporting underrepresented communities by empowering its employees and the broader digital community. Through initiatives like demystifying inclusive coding and design, GoDaddy aims to foster an accessible web for everyone.

GoDaddy proudly sponsors Joe Dolson, a seasoned WordPress plug-in developer and web accessibility consultant. Joe’s significant contributions to the Make WordPress Accessibility team and his role as a co-organizer of WP Accessibility Day underscore GoDaddy’s commitment to a more inclusive web. By supporting Joe, GoDaddy not only enhances accessibility within the WordPress ecosystem but also aligns with its mission to empower entrepreneurs worldwide.

GoDaddy’s dedication to creating a more inclusive digital world is further demonstrated through its extensive support of the WordPress community. This includes sponsoring contributors to the Make WordPress project and various WordPress community events.

At WordCamp Europe 2023 in Athens, Lazar Bulatovic, a blind accessibility expert, and GoDaddy employee Andrija Radojev delivered an insightful talk, “The Blind Guy Who Beat the Developers at His Own Game.” Their presentation shed light on the essence of accessible websites, the challenges faced by the blind internet community, and practical solutions to these issues (watch on YouTube).

With a WordPress-focused family of brands — including Pagely, ManageWP, Sucuri, CoBlocks, Go Theme, Re:Amaze, and SkyVerge — GoDaddy serves over 20 million customers, many of whom use WordPress to build their websites or those of their clients. This extensive reach amplifies the impact of GoDaddy’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, which is detailed on our careers page and through our “GoDaddy for Good” initiatives highlighted in our annual Sustainability Report.

At GoDaddy, we believe that accessibility education is key to a more inclusive and equitable digital world. By promoting events like WordPress Accessibility Day, we aim to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and contribute to economic growth. Our goal is to create online spaces that are accessible to all, increasing awareness and understanding of diverse abilities and disabilities. We are committed to empowering everyone to thrive in a more inclusive online community.
