Easily make any html form accessible using the Simple Accessible Forms Plugin. Forms must be carefully constructed to ensure accessibility.
<ol>
<li>The form element must include an aria-label describing the purpose of the form.</li>
<li>In the event of error or during a multiple step entry process, information previously entered must be auto populated or available for the user to select.</li>
<li>Each form field must be labeled using the label tag or by using an aria-label attribute.</li>
<li>Required fields should be annotated within the field label. This may be done using an asterisk for sited users but the word required should be used for screen reader users. Screen reader text may be hidden off screen using CSS. WordPress has a built in class for this purpose: screen-reader-text.</li>
<li>An error notice should be displayed next to fields with invalid entries when the user navigates away from the field.</li>
<li>If the form submission results in an error the values previously entered must be repopulated, an error displayed to clearly identify the issue and focus should be taken to the first field resulting in error.</li>
</ol>
The Simple Accessible Forms Plugin allows you to define form field validation information which will be used to add the necessary features to make the form accessible. It will add form field labels, required field markings, add form field validation and display screen reader friendly error message when a user navigates away from a field, moves focus to the first field in error in the event of a form submission failure.

What does this plugin do?
<ul>
<li>Wraps radio, checkbox and list (repeater) fields in a fieldset.</li>
<li>Improves form validation by displaying an on-page message that describes how many errors there were in the page. The message contains a list of the form fields with the errors, a description of the error and a link to the field.</li>
<li>Adds aria-describedby attributes for date and website fields – providing clear instructions for screen reader users of what format is required for the field.</li>
<li>Adds aria-describedby attributes for fields that have failed validation – providing clear instructions for screen reader users of what the field error is. Description used is the default validation message for the field, or if set, the validation message for the field.</li>
<li>Disables the Gravity Forms configured tabindex – this stops users from being able to tab between fields and on-page links.</li>
<li>Changes links in the form body, such as field descriptions or HTML fields, so they open in a new window. A title is added or appended to any existing title for screen reader users which reads ‘this link will open in a new window’.</li>
<li>Improved file upload field – wrapped in field set, clearly identifies to screen reader users if any file size of file type restrictions have been set of the field.</li>
<li>Improved field instructions – if a description has been provided for the field, the field is ‘described by’ the description, using the aria-describedby attribute</li>
</ul>

Please take the time to review the plugin. Your feedback shows the need for Gravity Forms to meet the WCAG 2.0 requirements natively, and will help me understand the value of this plugin.
Please note:
<ul>
<li>Accessibility is a complicated topic and sometimes there are different opinions on how to best achieve an accessible website. Accessible forms are even harder to achieve, with many different approaches. If you have a suggestion, comment or request please leave a detailed message on the support tab.</li>
<li>This plugin does not cover other aspects of accessibility, such as content order, clear instructions, colour contrast etc.</li>
<li>You will need to ensure that your websites theme is accessible. </li>

Works out of the box, just like it says it does. This should be built into the core plugin.
