In this episode, Amber Hines, born in New Hampshire and currently residing north of Austin, Texas, recounts her journeys across various states. Her travels were often prompted by her husband Chris’s career as a chef, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Poughkeepsie, New York, and even Gillette, Wyoming. Amber and Chris eventually settled in Texas where they currently reside with their four daughters. Despite many moves, Amber emphasizes the importance of being near family, which they finally achieved by relocating to Texas.

Amber’s career in web design began with client work for Colorado State University, which eventually led her to specialize in website accessibility. Along with her husband, Amber built ‘Equalize Digital,’ focusing on making websites accessible for everyone. Their main product, the Accessibility Checker plugin, combines automated testing with fixes for accessibility issues. Amber explains how accessibility should not be an afterthought but an integral part of web design, making it better for everyone.

Despite her busy schedule, Amber tries to balance work, family, and leisure by reading a book a week and participating in a neighborhood book club. Amber’s family’s adventures include living in various states and traveling extensively in a travel trailer while her children were not in school. These experiences have cultivated a close-knit family dynamic, allowing them to cherish quality time together while exploring new places.

Amber also highlights her town of Georgetown, Texas, with its charming downtown area filled with historic buildings, shops, and restaurants, offering a charming escape from the bustling city of Austin. While she hasn’t fully embraced the Texan lifestyle, her love for the local culture and the benefits it brings to her family’s life cannot be denied.

She culminates the discussion by promoting ‘WordPress Accessibility Day,’ a free 24-hour online conference dedicated to web accessibility, scheduled for October 15 -16, 2025. Amber’s dedication to this cause underscores her mission to make the internet a more inclusive space.
