Accessibility in WordPress Content
An accessible website works for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboards only, or have low vision. Much of accessibility is shaped by how you write and structure content — not just by the underlying code.
These habits make your WordPress content usable by a far wider audience and are good practice for everyone.
Content Habits That Help
- Use heading blocks in order (H2 then H3), not for size.
- Write descriptive alt text for meaningful images.
- Make link text describe its destination, not 'click here'.
- Ensure enough colour contrast for readable text.
Structure Matters
Screen-reader users navigate by headings and links. A logical heading structure acts like a table of contents, letting them jump straight to what they need.
A Shared Responsibility
We build accessible themes and templates, but day-to-day content is in your hands. Good writing habits keep the site accessible long after launch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is accessibility a legal requirement?
