Accessibility Statement

At WP Host Guru (wphostguru.com), we are dedicated to making our website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our mission to provide free GPL-licensed WordPress plugins and raise funds for disabled children reflects our commitment to inclusion, and we strive to ensure that everyone can engage with our content and resources. This Accessibility Statement outlines our efforts, compliance goals, and how you can get in touch if you encounter any issues. This statement is effective as of March 23, 2025.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim to design and maintain WP Host Guru in a way that is usable by people of all abilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, or other disabilities. Accessibility is especially meaningful to us given our focus on supporting disabled children, and we want our digital platform to reflect that value.

Compliance Standards

We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, an internationally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines cover aspects like:

  • Providing text alternatives for images (e.g., alt text).
  • Ensuring keyboard navigation for users who cannot use a mouse.
  • Offering sufficient color contrast for readability.
  • Making content adaptable for screen readers and assistive technologies.

While we strive for full compliance, some areas may still be in progress as we continue to improve.

Accessibility Features

Here are some steps we’ve taken or plan to implement:

  • Text Alternatives: Images (e.g., plugin screenshots) include descriptive alt text.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Core site functions (e.g., browsing plugins, downloading files) are accessible via keyboard.
  • Readable Design: We use clear fonts, adequate spacing, and high-contrast colors where possible.
  • Content Structure: Pages are organized with proper headings (e.g., H1, H2) for screen reader compatibility.
  • Forms: Our contact form includes labels and instructions for assistive technology users.

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to:

  • Regularly reviewing our site for compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
  • Testing with tools like WAVE or Lighthouse to identify and fix issues.
  • Incorporating feedback from users to address barriers.
  • Updating third-party plugins or themes we distribute to encourage accessibility (though we don’t control their code).

Because we distribute GPL-licensed plugins/themes created by others, we cannot guarantee their accessibility but encourage users to report issues so we can seek alternatives or notify developers.

Known Limitations

We’re still improving and acknowledge some potential challenges:

  • Third-Party Content: Plugins, themes, or external links may not fully meet accessibility standards, as we don’t develop them.
  • Older Content: Some blog posts or pages may lack full accessibility features as we work to update them.
  • Dynamic Features: If we add interactive elements (e.g., filters), they may need further testing for assistive technology support.

We’re actively addressing these areas and appreciate your patience and input.
