At ApostropheCMS, we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible experience for all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies.

Conformance status of ApostropheCMS 

As part of our dedication to accessibility, we are actively working to meet the WCAG 2.2AA guidelines. We are currently partially conformant with WCAG2.2AA guidelines with a goal of being fully conformant. 

Our progress so far

We’ve made significant strides in improving accessibility within our admin tools. Here are some highlights of our current progress:

• Automated Accessibility Testing: We’ve set up Pa11y to run automated accessibility tests, with more automated tests coming soon to increase our coverage and ensure the clearest possible picture of our standing against WCAG 2.2AA guidelines.
• Focus and Tab Order Improvements: We’ve implemented enhancements to improve navigation for keyboard and screen reader users, making it easier to interact with our tools.
• Color and Contrast: Initial testing through Pa11y has helped us identify and begin addressing color contrast issues, improving readability for visually impaired users.
• Keyboard Navigation and Shortcuts: We are reviewing known accessibility-related issues in keyboard navigation and shortcuts to further enhance usability.

Our ongoing commitment to an accessible CMS

Accessibility is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuous improvement. Our roadmap includes further testing, refining our user interface, and expanding our accessibility coverage. We are working to integrate feedback from the community and make ApostropheCMS as inclusive as possible.

The issues we're tackling now:

• Ensuring our TipTap-powered rich text editor is fully accessible
• Improving accessibility of our video and image widget editors

• Improving accessibility of Palette, our Apostrophe Pro design tool
