TYPO3 Accessibility Skill

WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance standards for TYPO3 v13 and v14.3 LTS sitepackage frontend development. EN 301 549 still cites 2.1 AA; 2.2 covers the WCAG part of both, not EN's further clauses.

v14 a11y wins (use as reference):

  • Native <dialog> modal replaces Bootstrap Modal (Breaking #107443) — proper focus trap + Esc-to-close for free.
  • DocHeader breadcrumb rework (Feature #107875) improves landmark structure.
  • CKEditor 5 v47 dark/light context-aware (Breaking #106964) respects prefers-color-scheme.
  • Camino theme (v14.1+, Feature #108539) is an alternative to bootstrap-package with configurable nav/footer — validate a11y when opting in.

Accessibility Recommendations

These rules should be followed in every TYPO3 sitepackage:

  1. Skip links required -- first focusable element on every page
  2. Links underlined in body text -- color alone is not sufficient for link identification
  3. Never disable buttons -- validate on click, show error messages
  4. No role="menu" for navigation -- use <nav> > <ul role="list"> > <a>
  5. role="list" on styled lists -- preserves list semantics when list-style: none is applied
  6. Viewport must allow zoom -- never use user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1
  7. aria-expanded on disclosure triggers -- toggles must announce their state

Content Element Accessibility Checklist

When creating or reviewing content elements, verify:

  • Interactive elements have ARIA attributes (aria-expanded, aria-controls, aria-label)
  • Images have alt text (or alt="" for decorative)
  • Focus indicators are visible (:focus-visible styles)
  • prefers-reduced-motion is respected for animations
  • Color contrast meets WCAG AA: 4.5:1, or 3:1 for UI and large text (>=24px / >=18.66px bold), measured not eyeballed. APCA never waives a WCAG failure
  • Keyboard navigation works (Tab, Escape, Enter, Space)
