Accessible Websites with Wordpress

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

WordPress claims WCAG 2.0 compliance and the repository lists 123 accessibility-ready themes, but many still fail color contrast and focus indicators so expect to fix CSS or create a child theme. Recommended plugins include One Click Accessibility and WP Accessibility (adds link underlines, restores focus outlines, checks contrast). Also use an accessible media player, ensure form labels, keyboard-operable menus and clear pagination. Gutenberg (built on React) currently has keyboard and screen‑reader gaps; keep the classic editor as a fallback and prioritize author education (about 70/30 education vs on‑site tools).
