Gravity Forms generates semantic HTML with proper field labels and ARIA attributes, giving a reasonable accessibility foundation out of the box, though actual accessibility compliance for a specific form still depends heavily on your WordPress theme's styling and how you've configured field labels and instructions.
Because accessibility is a combination of the form plugin's markup and your site's overall theme and content choices, running your specific published form through an accessibility checker (like WAVE or axe) matters more than assuming Gravity Forms alone guarantees WCAG conformance automatically.
- Gravity Forms generates semantic HTML with proper labels and ARIA attributes as a baseline
- Actual accessibility compliance also depends on your WordPress theme and how fields are labeled
- Testing a specific published form with an accessibility checker matters more than assuming automatic WCAG conformance
