FAQ
Accessible Theme - Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a theme an accessible theme?
An accessible theme is designed and coded so everyone can use it - including people who rely on screen readers, keyboards or screen magnification. That means correct heading structure, real labels, visible focus states, colour contrast that meets WCAG 2.2 AA, and components that announce their state to assistive technology, all working out of the box.
Which platforms do your accessible themes cover?
We build an accessible theme for each major platform - WordPress, Shopify and BigCommerce - so you can start from a compliant base whatever you build on.
Are the themes WCAG 2.2 AA and ADA compliant?
Yes. Every accessible theme is measured against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA and Section 508, and tested with real assistive technology such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack, plus keyboard-only and colour-contrast checks.
Can I customise an accessible theme for my brand?
Absolutely. Colours, fonts, layouts and content are fully customisable, and the accessible defaults are bounded so common pitfalls are avoided - you get your brand and a compliant result without having to memorise the specification yourself.
Do I still need an audit if I use an accessible theme?
An accessible theme gives you a compliant foundation, but your own content, plugins and customisations can still introduce issues. When you need certainty, our website accessibility audit and remediation services confirm and fix everything against WCAG 2.2 AA.
What is included with each accessible theme?
Every accessible theme comes with accessible navigation, forms, carousels and content patterns, colour-contrast-safe palettes, versioned updates and clear documentation. There are no overlay gimmicks, no tracking and nothing locked behind a paid tier - what you install is exactly what you can read and audit yourself.
How do I get started with an accessible theme?
Each accessible theme installs like any standard theme for its platform, with setup docs and demo content to import. Because accessibility is built into every template and block, you can publish a compliant site quickly - just add your branding and content, and the accessible defaults do the heavy lifting for you. You also get versioned updates and clear documentation, so keeping your website accessible over time stays simple.
