A WordPress accessibility checklist improves every visit
A WordPress accessibility checklist helps more people use your website with less friction. Accessibility is not only a technical requirement. It affects readability, navigation, forms, mobile design, and the confidence visitors feel when moving through a page.
Start with the basics: headings should describe the content, links should make sense, text should be readable, and buttons should be easy to identify. These improvements help all users, not only people using assistive technology.
Review structure and text quality
Use one clear H1 per page and organize sections with logical H2 and H3 headings. Avoid using headings only because they look large. The structure should help people scan and understand the page.
Write link text that explains the destination. A link that says “learn about WordPress maintenance” is more useful than a vague “click here.” Clear language supports accessibility and SEO at the same time.
Check images, contrast, and forms
Every meaningful image should have useful alt text. Decorative images can be left empty when the platform supports it. Text should have enough contrast against the background, especially in buttons, menus, and form labels.
Forms need visible labels, clear error messages, and logical tab order. Test forms with a keyboard. The WordPress accessibility statement gives helpful context for the platform.
Make accessibility a routine
Accessibility is easier when it is part of every edit. Check new landing pages, blog posts, and design sections before publishing. Small habits prevent large repair projects later.
