I had several errors come up, the most popular being that I was using a lot of gifs which can mess with the screen reader, as well as a few &#8220;improper use of link&#8221; errors.

As I keep building and improving this website I will continue to factor accessibility into my projects and changes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I learned A LOT through this exercise in optimizing our websites.
