Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Does Accessibility Improve Conversion Rates for WordPress Sites? (with Anne-Mieke Bovelett)
Q: Are there AI skills, tools, or things that we should be using to traverse websites and give us back a score, and are they good at it?
AI can conduct some mechanical checks, but it cannot reliably determine whether a website works with assistive technology. Bovelett says testing with tools such as screen readers remains necessary.
How Does Accessibility Improve Conversion Rates for WordPress Sites? (with Anne-Mieke Bovelett)
Q: Does accessibility and getting a really high accessibility score mean that my website has to look sterile, boring, or ugly?
No. Bovelett says accessible sites can be visually creative, provided functional content is accessible and designers account for settings such as reduced motion.
What Should Hosting Companies Do to Reduce Customer Churn? (with Andrew Palmer)
Q: If you could give your support teams 20, 30 percent of their time back, what would you do with it?
Jesse Friedman argues that support teams could use the time to help customers succeed, including resolving small website issues that might otherwise lead them to seek an agency or switch providers.
What Should Hosting Companies Do to Reduce Customer Churn? (with Andrew Palmer)
Q: What are some of the things that hosting companies are facing right now and that they need to be pivoting around?

What Role Should Hosts Play in Simplifying the WordPress Experience? (with Andrew Palmer)
Q: I'm curious if you've had any thoughts or any ideas on how we might approach solving that problem.
