Lumen ARIA Blocks

Lumen ARIA Blocks helps you publish interactive content that stays usable for keyboard and assistive technology users, while remaining practical for editorial teams in Gutenberg.

Why teams use Lumen ARIA Blocks:

  • Better accessibility defaults out of the box (roles, states, keyboard behavior, focus handling).
  • SSR-first output for robust rendering and content continuity.
  • Theme-agnostic integration (works with any WordPress theme).
  • Privacy-friendly runtime (no telemetry, no tracking scripts).

How it works:

  • SSR-first dynamic blocks (content remains server-rendered).
  • Progressive enhancement with block-specific frontend scripts, enqueued only when the related block is rendered.
  • Runtime assets are served from your own WordPress site.
  • No third-party runtime libraries are bundled in this release.

Available blocks in this release:

  • Accordion
  • Button (action/link/toggle)
  • Carousel
  • Dialog
  • Popup
  • Tabs
  • Tooltip

This plugin is designed to work across themes and does not require coupling to a specific theme implementation.

Accessibility Contract

Lumen ARIA Blocks targets WCAG 2.2 AA intent with:

  • keyboard-first interactions
  • ARIA roles/state mapping per component
  • focus-visible support
  • reduced-motion baseline (prefers-reduced-motion)
  • no-JS SSR fallback behavior for content continuity

ARIA contracts and QA checks are maintained in the release workflow and are not bundled in the plugin package.

Privacy

  • No analytics or telemetry are included.
  • No third-party tracking requests are sent by the plugin.
  • Runtime assets are loaded from your own WordPress site.

Third-Party Libraries

  • No third-party runtime libraries are bundled in this plugin release.
  • THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt remains included as distribution metadata.
