wA11y provides a toolbox of resources to help you improve the accessibility of your WordPress website.

== Description ==

wA11y is a WordPress plugin that provides a toolbox of resources to help you improve the accessibility of your WordPress website.

**If you would like to contribute to the plugin, or report issues, please go through [the wA11y Github repo](https://github.com/bamadesigner/wa11y).**

= What Does "wA11y" Mean? =
"A11y" is the commonly used abbreviation for accessibility, since there are eleven letters between the "a" and the "y".

"w" + "A11y" is my abbreviation for "web accessibility". **[#wa11y](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23wa11y)**

== What Is Web Accessibility? ==
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites by people with disabilities.

Data shows 1 in 5 people have a disability. If your site is inaccessible, **you could be excluding 20% of your potential users, customers, students, and more.**

The foundation for good accessibility is great markup which also means that good accessibility can improve your SEO.

== Accessibility Resources and Tools ==

The WPCampus community has a [great list of accessibility resources and tools](https://wpcampus.org/resources/accessibility/) available on their website.

This resource is open-source and WPCampus would love for you to contribute. [Visit the WPCampus Resources repo](https://github.com/wpcampus/wpcampus-resources) to learn how to contribute.

**WA11Y PRO TIP: Take advantage of in-browser testing tools, like [WAVE](http://wave.webaim.org/) and [HTML_CodeSniffer](http://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/), to evaluate WordPress theme demos before you purchase.**

== Tools Included In wA11y ==

The mission for the wA11y plugin is to provide a plethora of tools to help you evaluate and improve the accessibility of your website.

**If you would like to see any new tools added to the plugin, please [create an issue in the wA11y Github repo](https://github.com/bamadesigner/wa11y) and label it an "enhancement".**
