What’s on at WP Accessibility Day?

Although WordPress Accessibility Day is only a 24 hour event, it boasts an action-packed schedule that offers something for everyone. Presenters have been hand-picked from around the globe, and accessibility has been prioritized to ensure everyone has access to the presentations.

Here are just a few of the talks that the Gravity Forms team is looking forward to…

• Form Accessibility and Beyond – We are excited that our very own Morgan Kay will be speaking at WP Accessibility Day, alongside Rian Rietveld from Level Level, demonstrating how to build accessible forms with Gravity Forms and providing examples of how Gravity Forms has implemented accessibility.
• Growing Accessibility in Our WordPress Community – Join this panel discussion, led by Sumner Davenport looking back at the past five years which have resulted in the founding of accessibility Meetups, joint accessibility events, and accessibility topics being discussed at WordCamps.
• Think Smart and Adapt: meeting WCAG 2 without rebuilding from scratch – Listen to Michal Ziemak as he shares development processes that will allow you to adapt to the success criteria of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 instead of rebuilding your website from the ground up.
• Accessibility of Common Gutenberg Blocks – Does the HTML that WP core and block plugins give to a browser actually make sense to people using screen readers and other assistive tools? Join Graham Armfield as he picks a few blocks and has a look under the bonnet at the code they generate.
• Digital Accessibility Testing: How to Get It Right – Run by Tamar Schapira, this session will provide a proven automated methodology to assess, identify, and remediate accessibility violations for any web application.

Gravity Forms and Accessibility

Accessibility is close to our hearts here at Gravity Forms and we are delighted to be able to sponsor WP Accessibility Day.

Gravity Forms is fully committed to accessibility and helping to make the web accessible to everyone. Over the last few years, Gravity Forms has undergone a major redesign when it comes to accessibility, adding a range of accessibility enhancements and improvements across the board.

The result of these accessibility features is that Gravity Forms users can create accessible forms that achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, a legal necessity for many businesses and websites.

If you are yet to get started with Gravity Forms, you can check out our free demo and find out just how easy it is to create accessible forms with our form builder.

We hope you enjoy WP Accessibility Day 2022!
