In this episode, I chat with Alper Donmez, VP of Quality Assurance at Jotform, about how the platform is building accessibility into every layer of the form creation and form filling experience. You’ll also hear what Jotform’s built-in accessibility checker catches that you might not expect, how the team supports users who rely on screen readers and keyboard navigation, and why accessibility should be the starting point of your process rather than a final checklist. If you want to learn more about making forms accessible for your school community, this episode has you covered!

Tips for Making Forms Accessible for Everyone
- Stop thinking of accessibility as a final checklist and start making it the beginning of your creation process.
- Use Jotform’s built-in accessibility checker to catch common issues like missing labels, color contrast problems, and heading structure errors while you build.
- Keep forms simple by using clear labels, section titles, and only the fields you truly need.
- Remember that accessibility benefits everyone, including parents who aren’t comfortable with technology, mobile users, and people working in a second language.
