Drupal, WordPress, or Webflow? Comparing CMS Accessibility Features for 2025 Compliance

Staff Reporter

This comparison outlines how WordPress, Drupal, and Webflow support accessibility amid rising legal requirements like the EU Accessibility Act. Drupal 11 emerges as the most standards-aligned CMS, offering semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks, and a fully accessible admin UI. Notably, it requires less reliance on add-ons but demands higher technical literacy—making it best suited for well-resourced teams.

WordPress thrives on plugin diversity, but its default admin lacks native accessibility. Improvements in Gutenberg and plugin options like AccessiBe help, yet introduce inconsistency and added cost. Webflow’s visual-first builder simplifies accessible design but lacks depth for screen reader users and complex workflows.

Critically, the report highlights a key tension: platforms may market accessibility features, but real-world effectiveness hinges on thoughtful implementation. Drupal's strength lies in its principled architecture; WordPress and Webflow succeed more through customization. No CMS guarantees compliance—user expertise and testing remain essentia
