  Hello to the people helping with this theme,

  I use a screen reader and many of my readers do too. Do you know if this theme is accessible to people with screen readers? i.e. Voiceover, JAWS, ZoomText?

  Thank you in advance for your time and help,
  Have a nice day,
  Amanda Gene

  Hi there,

  I did not see you mention a specific theme name in your post here. You are referring to “Morden” which is the active theme on amandagene.com now?

  Morden is one of our more accessible themes, which along with the themes listed here adheres to accessibility best practices like color contrast, keyboard navigation, and form/link focus: https://wordpress.com/themes/filter/accessibility-ready

  We also have some tips here on how to increase the accessibility of any theme with proper use of headings, descriptive links, image captions, etc.

  Hi, I am currently using “Morden”, but it’s not very accessible for me. I was wanting to know if the them, “Shawburn” was accessible. Sorry for the confusion.

  Shawburn is one of our accessibility-ready themes, so it should work well.
