How do you know what you can \u201cignore\u201d? <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Perceivable, operable, understandable, robust. Sounds good, right? But what does that actually mean? As a designer, what do you need to know? A content writer, a developer. What parts are important to know at what times? Are there other ways to organize these guidelines to better represent the different parts of website building, rather than through these principles that drive the WCAG? <\/p>\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll dive into some tools that help us understand these guidelines, and how we can think about these concepts in ways that are a little easier to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wordcamp-session-speakers\"><span class=\"wp-block-wordcamp-session-speakers__byline\">Presented by<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-wordcamp-session-speakers__name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/montclair.wordcamp.org\/2024\/speaker\/danielle-zarcaro\/\">Danielle Zarcaro<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-wcb_track wp-block-post-terms has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/montclair.wordcamp.org\/2024\/track\/classroom\/\" rel=\"tag\">Classroom<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity alignwide is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-400 wcb_session type-wcb_session status-publish hentry wcb_track-auditorium\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h3 class=\"alignwide wp-block-post-title has-var-wp-custom-typography-font-size-huge-clamp-2-25-rem-4-vw-2-75-rem-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/montclair.wordcamp.org\/2024\/session\/the-art-of-the-pitch-selling-your-wordpress-solutions\/\" target=\"_self\" >The Art of the Pitch: Selling your WordPress Solutions<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"d-none wp-block-wordcamp-session-date\"><time dateTime=\"2024-06-01T13:00:00-04:00\">June 1, 2024 1:00 pm EDT<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Clients don\u2019t know what they don\u2019t know.

It\u2019s often obvious that the bland results are created by AI, which &#8212; for the time being, at least &#8212; can\u2019t compete with the human brain when it comes to truly inspiring writing.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>But could AI help you better showcase this writing, leaving your company\u2019s creators, critics and copy editors with more time to hone their uniquely human talents?<\/p>\n\n\n<p>At PMC, we are exploring different use cases for what we\u2019re re-labeling assistive AI. We\u2019re doing it on behalf of the writers and editors who excel at producing trenchant reviews and informative news stories but maybe find generating SEO to be drudgery. AI can step in to take on this and certain other responsibilities, including creating catchy headlines and doing certain kinds of editing.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>This talk will outline the corporate policies surrounding AI and delve into why we decided to develop our own ChatPMC and how it is currently being used. We will also look at additional plugins currently available that can help you with SEO, titles and editing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-wordcamp-session-speakers\"><span class=\"wp-block-wordcamp-session-speakers__byline\">Presented by<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-wordcamp-session-speakers__name\"><a href=\"https:\/\/montclair.wordcamp.org\/2024\/speaker\/dan-berko\/\">Dan Berko<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-wcb_track wp-block-post-terms has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/montclair.wordcamp.org\/2024\/track\/auditorium\/\" rel=\"tag\">Auditorium<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity alignwide is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-582 wcb_session type-wcb_session status-publish hentry wcb_track-classroom\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h3 class=\"alignwide wp-block-post-title has-var-wp-custom-typography-font-size-huge-clamp-2-25-rem-4-vw-2-75-rem-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/montclair.wordcamp.org\/2024\/session\/where-to-find-how-to-do-something-navigating-learn-wordpress\/\" target=\"_self\" >Where to find how to do something: Navigating Learn WordPress<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<div class=\"d-none wp-block-wordcamp-session-date\"><time dateTime=\"2024-06-01T09:00:00-04:00\">June 1, 2024 9:00 am EDT<\/time><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content wp-block-post-content is-layout-flow wp-block-post-content-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>You are new to WordPress and need some lessons on creating a webpage.
