Though this is not directly relevant to Peter's question about the
administrative side of a CMS, I do think others may find it valuable to
know of the "accessibility-ready" tag for WordPress themes. Here's the link:

https://wordpress.org/themes/tags/accessibility-ready/


And here's the guide for reviewers:

Of course, people can easily break a chosen theme's accessibility, but
this is a good start.


And I have recently seen, via Twitter, that the Drupal-verse is becoming
interested in this concept, so "Drupalistas" out there might want to
take a look at this and contribute:


Add project categorization to indicate the module - theme passes

It would be great if Drupal didn't spend a lot of time re-inventing the
wheel, and perhaps these projects could actually cooperate, when possible.

I'm not meaning to coopt this thread, but I do think it's important for
AT users to know about accessible theming, as a starting point, when
possible, not to mention developers.


Best,
