Accessibility in WordPress depends on decisions made throughout a site’s lifecycle, not a final pre-launch audit. Semantic heading order helps screen-reader users navigate content; descriptive link text, meaningful image alternatives and labelled forms make information and tasks clearer. Visual polish alone does not establish that a page is usable with assistive technology.

Keyboard access also depends on interface behaviour. Focus should move through links, buttons and fields in a logical order and remain visible. When a dialog opens, focus should enter it and stay within it until closure, then return to the control that opened it. Themes, plugins and page builders all contribute to these behaviours, so no single component can guarantee an accessible result.

For WPBakery sites, accessibility therefore involves both plugin development and the wider implementation: theme, custom code, content and design choices. Regular checks should accompany publishing and changes to plugins or interactive elements. Testing menus, dialogs and forms with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter and Escape can expose problems that mouse-based review misses; heading structure, contrast, labels and error messages also warrant routine inspection. Clear ownership helps ensure identified issues are reported and fixed over time.
