WordPress is a popular Content Management System (CMS) for creating websites at the University of Illinois. This session will describe our experience in creating an accessible WordPress theme for the Accessible IT Group website. The session will discuss the use of headings and landmarks, the creation of an accessible banner menu, adding the SkipTo.js script to the theme template for supporting keyboard navigation, keyboard focus styling and adding in third party plugins for managing tables and a calendar. The banner menu code, which uses an ARIA disclosure menu pattern, and SkipTo.js has been shared for use with the campus template. The Accessible IT Group website uses the campus CPanel web hosting service. The theme is available on GitHub for people to use or modify for their own WordPress websites. Robert Slater will describe how accessibility features are being integrated in the campus WordPress template.
