Accessibility work continues after a theme is built. Editors decide how headings are organized, whether link text makes sense, and what information an image communicates. A repeatable content review makes those decisions easier to handle consistently.
Check the outline first
Read just the headings of an article. Do they describe an understandable sequence? Use heading levels to express structure rather than to obtain a particular font size. A section about preparation and a section about verification should be easy to distinguish while scanning.
The W3C guidance on writing for accessibility covers meaningful headings, links, text alternatives, and clear instructions. These practices are useful during drafting, before a page reaches a final review.
Make links useful out of context
In a support article, “read more” gives little information about the destination. “Read the Drupal update checklist” tells the reader what to expect. We recommend reviewing repeated link labels, especially where several cards appear together.
Describe the purpose of images
An alternative description should communicate the information the image contributes in that context. A process diagram may need a nearby text explanation of its steps. A decorative image should not force the reader through a lengthy description that adds no meaning.
Ask a colleague to read the article without its images. If an instruction becomes impossible to follow, add the missing explanation to the body. Do not make a screenshot the only record of a required action.
Test the edited result
- Read the page at a narrow screen width.
- Move through links and controls using the keyboard.
- Check that instructions name the action clearly.
- Look for dense paragraphs that could become shorter sections.
This is an editorial checklist, not a complete accessibility audit. Components, forms, contrast, and assistive-technology behavior also need appropriate testing. Keep recurring findings in the editorial guide so the next author can avoid the same issue.
