Web accessibility is a core part of modern WordPress website design. Adding ARIA labels to your links and buttons ensures that users relying on screen readers and assistive technologies can understand the purpose of every interactive element on your site.
With Nexter Blocks links and buttons, you can add ARIA text to any element on your WordPress page.
Best Used For:
- Any WordPress site that needs to meet WCAG accessibility standards
- Government, healthcare, or educational sites where accessibility compliance is required
- E-commerce sites where product links and CTA buttons need ARIA descriptions for screen reader users
Requirement – This feature is a part of Nexter Blocks. Make sure it is installed and activated.
What is the ARIA label?
ARIA stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications and is a set of HTML attributes that improve accessibility for users with disabilities. An ARIA label provides additional information about the purpose and function of an element, making it easier for users with assistive technologies to navigate and interact with the site.

How to Add an ARIA Label in Nexter Blocks Block?
To do this, add the Advanced Button block to the page, then go to the Accessibility tab.
In the Aria Label field, enter your ARIA label text. Use a descriptive phrase that tells screen reader users what action the button performs, such as “Open contact form” or “Download product brochure”.
For other Nexter Blocks blocks, whenever you add a link, you will see a field under the link that asks for the ARIA Label. Enter a description of what the link leads to so users with visual impairments understand the context of the link.
