[ENG] The CMS A11y Matrix: Choosing the Right Engine for an Inclusive Web
A CMS that naturally supports accessibility is the difference between a sustainable architecture and a continuous battle against your own tech stack. With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) elevating digital inclusion, web accessibility has evolved from a simple frontend developer's checklist into a core architectural strategy. We can craft WCAG 2.2-compliant templates, but true success happens when the CMS empowers content editors to maintain that standard effortlessly. In this session, we’ll embark on a journey to discover the true accessibility potential of today's popular CMS platforms. We will explore the unique strengths, built-in guardrails, and integration paths of traditional monoliths (like WordPress and Drupal), agile SaaS builders, and modern Headless architectures. Together, we will build The CMS A11y Matrix. Join me to uncover how choosing the right tech stack can streamline your compliance, boost your team's efficiency, and help you deliver a truly inclusive, high-performance web experience.
