ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) provides additional semantic information to HTML elements, allowing assistive technologies to better understand dynamic content and complex user interfaces.

How can I effectively test for CMS accessibility?

Comprehensive testing involves using automated tools like WAVE or axe, simulating screen reader usage, verifying keyboard navigation, and conducting manual testing alongside involving users with disabilities to ensure a truly accessible experience.
