WS Form has a goal of complying with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) wherever possible to make forms in WordPress more accessible.

Accessibility considerations include ARIA attributes for field labels, descriptions, and required fields, fully responsive layouts for different devices, high contrast text, and high contrast button and message colors.

You can also use section labels, adjust form, tab, and section headings to follow sequential heading requirements, and add help text at both form and field level. Accessibility-friendly spam protection methods include Honeypot and Cloudflare Turnstile.

WS Form also uses a default font size of 16px to help prevent unnecessary input zoom on mobile devices and provides a clean DOM structure for easier custom styling with CSS.

  • Support ARIA markup

    ARIA attributes help communicate field labels, descriptions, and required fields more clearly.

  • Design per device

    Responsive forms allow different layouts per device to improve usability across screen sizes.

  • Improve contrast

    High contrast text is used by default, including a high contrast red required asterisk.

  • Change required indicators

    You can change the required indicator to a text string when needed.

  • Structure sections clearly

    Section (fieldset) labels help better describe sections of a form.

  • Keep heading order

    Change form, tab, and section headings to comply with sequential heading tag requirements.

  • Add helpful guidance

    Use help text at form and field level to provide extra context.

  • Reduce mobile zoom
