10up Partners with WooCommerce to Implement Accessibility Enhancements
Darin Kotter on
As part of a larger effort to improve the accessibility of WooCommerce, the flagship open source eCommerce solution for WordPress, 10up has implemented dozens of accessibility improvements. Each enhancement improves the overall user experience of WooCommerce and ensures the plugin is in compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. A few of these patches include:
- Enhanced visibility and readability, reducing opacity changes on hover and improving text visibility against backgrounds, adhering to WCAG 1.4.3.
- Better keyboard navigation capabilities to ensure folks who cannot use a mouse can still seamlessly interact with every feature in compliance with WCAG 2.1.1.
- Increased screen reader support with the addition of ARIA labels that help visually impaired users navigate, up to WCAG 1.3.1 standard.
10up is dedicated to building a better web for all. If you’re interested in working with a team that dedicates thousands of hours to improving the open web per year, we are always hiring.
