# Accessbility

kernl(wp) has number of helpful accessibility features baked-in with a minimum setup or advanced knowledge.

# Template functionality

kernl(wp) is built to meet the four main principles of web accessibility as defined in WCAG by the W3C: Perceivable Operable, Understandable, Robust.

The following considerations are already built in to the kernl() ecosystem:

• All HTML markup is composed semantically, allowing various technologies to interpret the structure of a page.
• The first element in the markup is a ‘skip to nav’ function.
• ARIA roles are applied appropriately to high-level structural elements (banner, navigation, main, contentinfo, etc)
• It is perceivable across multiple devices; screen widths from mobile phone to widescreen, as well as assistive technologies like screen readers.

# Editorial responsibility

• Add relevant alt tags to imagery
• Use logical headings for body copy
• Ensure links have readable anchor text, not just a printed url
