Committed to accessibility
With Gravity Forms 2.5, you have access to the most accessible form builder on the market. Our plugin gives you everything you need to comply with government standards for Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Ensuring your forms are logical
and easy to use
With Gravity Forms, you get multiple ways to create forms that are easy to understand and a breeze to complete and submit. Our user-friendly UI allows you to add instructions, cues, required form fields, and even formatting requirements. And if you do run into a problem? Our error recovery is intuitive and descriptive.
Required Fields
Format mandatory fields with easy-to-spot visual cues.
Instructions & Cues
Guide users with simple text-based prompts.
Compliant labels and controls
Form labels with controls
A label describes the function of a form control (i.e. text area, checkbox, radio button, menu, etc.) and typically appears adjacent to it. Sighted users make the connection visually, but others rely on software to read the form control label notated in the code.
The element programmatically associates a text label to a form control, creating a connection in the code that doesn’t rely on vision. ARIA labels (aria-labelledby and aria-label) may be used when it is not possible to use <label>.
Trusted expertise
We’ve tapped the leading experts to help us level up our accessibility game.
To start our process of improved accessibility, we engaged the digital agency of Level Level in order to get an initial view of what was expected, and the areas that most desired improvement. They partnered us with their senior accessibility consultant, Rian Rietveld, who has an excellent reputation in this space.
To accelerate our process, we brought in digital agency Level Level to scope out the work we had ahead of us. Their senior accessibility consultant, Rian Rietveld, served as commander for our mission, bringing highly respected expertise and the highest standard for accessibility and inclusion.
Rian began with an initial assessment of the front-end of our Gravity Forms core plugin in 2019, taking us through a list of suggested improvements and helping us form them into a roadmap. She also provided training for our design and product teams, helping us to deepen our culture of inclusion. Our collaboration is ongoing, with a continuous feedback loop of assessment and enhancement.
