Accessibility for Non-Technical Site Owners
As part of the new User handbook being created over at
Supporting Everything WordPress, I’ve put together an introduction to web accessibility.
This is intended to be far less technical and in-depth than its companion page in the Codex. The intent is to get site authors thinking about how they add content rather than just the final look of their pages.
On that basis, I’ve just focused on using headings, images and links as well as general readability.
Bachsau are discussing.

One really important thing on this topic is the autoupdate of twentyten, twentyeleven and twentytwelve themes. People with not FTP access and knowledge are stuck a with an english frontend even on localized versions of WordPress. Please include the locals in themes packages, so autoupdate of themes work correctly.

That has nothing to do with accessibility.

I don’t know if you want to mention this, but it is worth noting (in my opinion) that web accessibility is not solely for disabled persons, but can actually be beneficial on a broader scale, i.e., more ability and ease of use across browsers and mobile devices, etc.

Good point! I’ll see if I can work that in too.
