Accessibility
WordPress has published an incredibly comprehensive article regarding accessibility on WordPress sites. WordPress's accessibility handbook is also a great yet potentially overwhelming place to get started. There's a wealth of information here, so we'll break down the useful and relevant part of what we found so that you can get started making your website more accessible for all users.
