Always make sure that every audio and video in your web page are accompanied with a transcript, especially for users who are deaf. The transcript should include detailed explanation of every thing in the audio and video..For example: The barking of dog, creaking of frog, The sound of a car horn e.t.c

2) Operable: Always make sure that elements in your web page do not rely on the use of mouse only. Provide means for keyboard navigation for users with disabilities in seeing. Give users the chance to stop self updating videos.

The design in your website should make it easy for users to easily navigate through your web pages, also the colour scheme for your website should be consistent in your web pages.

Form input should include labels for instructions and should include means of helping the users to correct errors before form submission.

3) Understandable : The language a web page is written in should be Understandable. The language a web page is written in should be clearly indicated. For example add the lang attribute in the opening tag of the html document. For example <html lang="en"> That is, if your if your html document is written in English.

Avoid the use of technical or ambiguous term. If you must include it, provide detailed explanation of technical terms before making use of them in your web page. It makes your web content to be Understandable.

In building a website using wordpress or any Content Management System, you need to ensure the Content Management System follows the four principles outlined by the World Wide Web Consortium. (W3C). Many website automation tools are not following international standard and should not be used.

Following the principles, ensures your web content will be accessible to all users.
