Hi, I am trying to build a website using WordPress as CMS, the focus of the development will be on accessibility for example colour contrast, font resize and language switch controls. I've spent so much time researching about all these but haven't found any good solution.
As beginner I tried using themes and plugins for the features I need but none of them seem to work properly.
What do you suggest? Building own theme with accessibility features?

You might want to check out this awesome site, "WP Accessible" - http://wp-accessible.org/themes/. I think this is a good place for you to explore options there. They have several WP themes in the work. Most of them are developers volunteering their time in making WP accessible.
Also there is another new project called Cities that started very recently - http://accessiblejoe.com/cities/. This project involves a team of developers (volunteers) in each city (& country) to build an accessible WP theme for users. The new, free themes will be available through WP.org in the near future.
Hope this helps!

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 2,165 PointsThank you that was very helpful. I've decided to make theme from scratch and write all accessibility features by myself. I am very new to web and my first project is covering a lot about web so I got very confused.
