"Best practice" is just your opinion via @craigabbott #Development #Webdev #A11y

I'm going to be honest, when doing accessibility audits, the term "best practice" bothers me.

Our 2025 WordPress Page Builder Accessibility Comparison report is here! This year:
- Added 9 new builders.
- Added forms to component tests.
- More thorough accessibility-ready testing based on new requirements and more theme page tests.
- Tested by two people instead of one.
- Public testing sites so you can see exactly what we saw.
- More detailed reporting, including a WordPress core "baseline"

I created feedback two years ago about how VoiceOver does not interact properly with SwiftUI Grids.

I've been getting around this by providing an accessibilityRepresentation for the Grid's contents.

The problem is that workaround doesn't work with widgets. So my VoiceOver support for them suffers.

J'ai une question d'accessibilité et je ne trouve pas de réponse précise sur Internet.

Si j'ouvre une modale à l'écran, le focus doit être mis sur le premier élément de la modale, ok.

Si la modale a toujours un bouton "Fermer" en haut à droite, je dois poser le focus là-dessus ?
Si la modale a un bouton "Précédent" en haut à gauche, je le mets dessus (et plus sur la croix à droite ?).

En clair : ça veut dire quoi le premier élément ? Je lis de gauche à droite et de haut en bas ?

“‘Best practice’ is just [like,] your opinion [, man]”

IME, opinionated / wrong authors use the term to shoehorn their pet peeves into an #accessibility review.

If you see `aria-label` in a ‘best practice’ suggestion, odds are you can bin the entire thing.

New blog post, on why we should probably ditch the term “best practice” when doing accessibility audits.

Big shoutout to everybody that got involved in the originals discussion. I’ve tried to capture all the great points you all raised!

Einer der besseren Beiträge zu Alt-Texten in WordPress, mit dem Fokus auf Block-Editor.

Besonders schön beschrieben wird der Unterschied zwischen dem Einfügen des Alt-Textes in der Mediathek und dem Block-Editor.
