AndiSites Employee Spotlight:

Will Slone

1. Describe your role in five words.
Making websites work for everyone.
2. What are your main responsibilities, and what do you enjoy most about your job?
My main responsibilities involve conducting thorough accessibility audits of WordPress sites against WCAG standards, and then working directly with clients to remediate the issues we find. What I enjoy most is the problem-solving aspect, especially those challenging fixes on complex platforms where I get to dive into custom code. There's real satisfaction in transforming a site that excludes people into one that welcomes everyone, and then helping clients understand how to maintain that accessibility moving forward.
3. What has been your favorite project at AndiSites, one that you're especially proud of?
I'm really proud of the work I'm doing with Western Piedmont Community College. It's my first comprehensive manual audit at AndiSites, and their header navigation had some critical accessibility issues. Because it was built with the Divi page builder, which doesn't provide built-in accessibility options, I had to develop custom code solutions to fix it. It's exactly the kind of challenging problem-solving I love: taking a complex barrier that's blocking users and figuring out how to make it work properly. There's something especially satisfying about making navigation accessible since it's such a fundamental part of how people interact with a site.
4. What do you think makes AndiSites different from other companies?
What really stands out is that accessibility is woven into how we approach every project from day one, not treated as an afterthought. I also appreciate that we truly listen to what clients need rather than pushing solutions that just make our lives easier. With a tight-knit team, there's real ownership over our work, and clients benefit from getting direct access to the people actually doing the work, not just account managers.
5. What is a fun fact about you that people might not know?
I was once in a band that opened for Alice Cooper! It was an incredible experience and definitely not something people expect when they first meet me.
