Elementor Accessibility: Angela Bowman & David Denedo

In this talk, Angela and David will dive into practical strategies for working with options in Elementor that allow you to make your site more WCAG compliant, including:

• Assigning proper ARIA landmarks to header, content, and footer areas
• Naming menus and other widgets in Elementor for correct ARIA
• Using Site Settings to define accessible Global Colors and scalable typography
• Adding aria labels to icons, buttons, and images that are linked

Angela and David will provide a few custom code snippets to improve accessibility of the following:

• Respect reduce motion effects with CSS
• Add aria-current=“page” to Mega Menu submenu items
• Add pause button to self-hosted background videos

And lastly, this talk will explore accessibility challenges with Elementor template kits, complex Elementor widgets, and things to watch out for.
