New documentation

- Testing WordPress themes for accessibility.
- Documenting accessibility.
The documentation about web forms is almost ready, new is Provide help,
with:
User testing
From user testing by Dutch frontent developers, we got ideas for a better organisation of the content structure. We are working on less items in the main menu and better in-page navigation to related content. That way content is better findable and can be found in multiple ways, not only by the search option or the main menu.
WCAG-EM audit
The website wpaccessibility.org got an official WCAG-EM audit, the site passes the audit for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. We created an accessibility statement for the website.
Work for February ’26
- Finish the reorganisation content
- Add a reading guide
- Finish all documentation about forms, next is “Focus management in forms”.
- Start with the documentation for the section Content and images
- Rian will give a presentation about the WP A11y Docs project at WPLDN in London on February 26.
All feedback on the documentation is very much welcome.
