Audit the accessibility of this website
A website about accessibility (a11y) must be accessible itself. That’s a no-brainer. We want to meet WCAG 2.2 AA and do our very best to comply to that. We’d love to have an independent WCAG-EM audit, that results in a WCAG-EM report. Your name or your company name will be added to the contributors list.
We then will add that information in our accessibility statement and fix the issues found. See the GitHub issue: Audit the website for accessibility WCAG 2.2 AA.
Did you notice an a11y-issue on this website? Please inform us by opening an issue on GitHub.
Please note: this is only for accessibility issues in this website and not for WordPress itself. If you find an accessibility issue in WordPress core, or in one of the core themes, please create a new ticket on Make WordPress Core and give it the focus “accessibility”.
Contribute with regular accessibility audits
We would value a full WCAG-EM audit and WCAG-EM report for WCAG 2.2 AA to start and a yearly update for the new content and functionality.
Your name or your company name will be added to the sponsor list. Contact Rian Rietveld if you want to sponsor this project with regular WCAG-EM audits of wpaccessibility.org.
Improve this website
WPaccessibility.org is written in Jekyll, a static site generator in Ruby using markdown for content. The theme is based on the Jekyll theme Just the Docs. For the changes made in Just the Docs, please read the Changelog for Release v0.1.
