I’m currently using gravity forms and struggling with the accessibility of it. It sounds like there are no plans to make it accessible, but I know a lot of people use this plugin, so let’s make the best of it.

Recently I discovered Contact Form 7 (CF7) by Takayuki Miyoshi. A plugin to create forms on a WordPress website. I was looking for an accessible alternative for Gravity Forms, and discovered that Contact Form 7 does an excellent job!

Up to now I used Gravity Forms, which is a great plugin. But it has some accessibility issues and has W3C validation errors for the HTML and CSS. Gravity Forms also doesn’t have an accessible backend.

Contact Form 7 recently (version 3.6) added accessible WAI-ARIA to the forms, e.g. for error messages and required fields. Also the plugin gives you complete controle over the HTML output of the form.

A second advantage of Contact Form 7 is that the backend is fully accessible, so a visually impaired content manager can build her own forms.

The only drawback is that the default form, provided by the plugin needs to be changed to make the form fully accessible, but that’s easily done, unlike with Gravity Forms.

A reference guide for which Gravity Forms hooks are called and in what order for several typical scenarios. Provides additional information for those seeking a deeper understanding into how Gravity Forms actually works.

Think of this plugin as an alternative to adding code snippets to the functions.php, or style.css file in your child theme. Why? It keeps all of your changes in one location, independent of the other components that make up your web site. That means you can safely perform theme / plugin updates without the worry of losing your modifications as well as easily deactivating your customisations to check for conflicts.

Actually, you might be in luck! If you want to style a tab according to the domain, the TAB element has an attribute called IMAGE which is the URL for the Favicon it displays. If the website has a favicon then you can do this:

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
tab[image*="example.com"] {background:red !important;}

We have been loving learning Drupal 8’s theming system over the last year.  Drupal 8 core now uses the Twig template engine, which is a fast, flexible, and secure system that allows use to create the markup needed for the modern web.

What you can do with Drupal core’s Twig is pretty great, but the Drupal community always brings so much more to the table after real world use.  We don’t use them all, all of the time, but have used many as our design and development needed.  Here are our favorite modules to help build out your Drupal themes.
