Overview: I am writing to request an enhancement to the Folwell theme to improve accessibility and functionality for users who heavily utilize accordion components in their Drupal Lite sites. Currently, all accordion drawer titles are tagged as Heading 3 (H3), which does not align well with the content structure of many sites, including mine.
Accessibility and Usability Concerns: The use of H3 for accordion titles can create accessibility issues, as it may not accurately reflect the content hierarchy. For my site, and likely for many others, Heading 2 (H2) would be more appropriate. This adjustment would not only enhance the accessibility of the content but also improve the overall user experience by providing a clearer and more logical structure without the need to add unnecessary headers just for accessibility purposes.
Proposed Solution: I propose that the Folwell theme be updated to allow users to select the appropriate heading level for accordion titles. This flexibility would enable site administrators to choose between H2, H3, or other heading levels based on their specific content needs and accessibility requirements.
Benefits:
Improved Accessibility: Aligning heading levels with content structure ensures that screen readers and other assistive technologies can accurately interpret and navigate the site.
Enhanced User Experience: A logical and consistent heading structure improves readability and usability for all users.
Compliance with Accessibility Guidelines: Providing flexible heading options helps ensure that sites adhere to accessibility standards and best practices.
Conclusion: Implementing this feature would be highly beneficial for a wide range of users, particularly those who prioritize accessibility. By allowing flexible heading levels for accordion titles, the Folwell theme can better support diverse content structures and enhance the overall functionality of Drupal Lite sites.
Thank you for considering this request. I believe this enhancement will make a significant positive impact on the accessibility and usability of sites using the Folwell theme.
