Accessibility matters. Since it does, having this tool in your toolbelt as a developer or even someone vetting plugins for users is phenomenal. With this plugin, you no longer have an excuse for putting out inaccessible websites. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2ccca86897b2270c6bdadc468914a972941af1a6ad808d0a07bb216924a8fe67? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[What a time saver!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-a-time-saver-16/)󠁿 [Anonymous User 7698158](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anonymized-7698158/) May 22, 2017 This plugin goes on all of my development sites.

This plugin teaches you how you can make better sites/ plugins/themes/WordPresses Turn this on when your working on developing WordPress sites, plugins or themes or WordPress itself. #realtalk we’ve all written plenty of code that is not as accessible as it should be. Let’s not make these problems worse by ensuring that everything we do write, moving forward is going to be accessible. 5 Stars ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6501111ccc431e81d31b8375bb849efa95f56d92030caed98c7ade4bc137e0db? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[WOW…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wow-440/)󠁿 [Jakob](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jakobbader/) September 3, 2016 Hi Rachel This is a awesome tool, this will make it much easier to get accessibility right.
