Anne-Mieke works both in Germany and internationally, providing guidance in Full Site Editing (FSE) for WordPress, and accessibility.
In the Netherlands, she has regularly carried out assignments for academic semi-public institutions, retail chains, marketing agencies, web agencies, small businesses and large commercial enterprises, among others. In 2019 she moved to Germany. She is a sought-after consultant when it comes to putting together teams for web projects and advising them on functional and technical design from an accessibility perspective. Anne is a founding team member of Relaunchberatung.de and a Product Ambassador for Greyd.Suite.
Anne playfully debunks myths like “accessible websites are more expensive” and “smashing designs can’t be achieved if the focus is on accessibility.” Her favorite terms in discussions with peers and clients are conversion, usability, and customer experience. She teaches about profitable inclusive design and content, both within and beyond the WordPress community. The term ‘profitable’ in this context refers to both human and business aspects.
What she cherishes most and does best is guiding companies to motivate all departments to ensure accessibility remains a priority throughout the organization. She deeply believes in providing access to the same opportunities and experiences for everyone, irrespective of any physical or mental limitations they may have.
