I’ve been working away on my new theme, and I’m almost at a point where the basic style and layout is complete, then I’ll be going onto more advanced areas like custom page templates and Jetpack specific features. Here’s a screenshot of how things are looking now:
One of the areas I’ve struggled with a little bit in creating an accessible theme is creating an attractive colour scheme while providing enough contrast, and you may notice the colours have changed a little since my last preview.

On a related note look out for a larger article I’m working on that will go into depth about creating an accessible WordPress menu system.
