Building a Webform is easy in Drupal 8; making a truly webform accessible is not. The Webform module for Drupal 8 provides all the features expected from an enterprise proprietary form builder combined with the flexibility and openness of Drupal. Besides the fact that Drupal is Open Source, we are a diverse and inclusive community. As an inclusive community, we are committed to making sure that Drupal is an accessible tool for building websites, which can be accessed by people with disabilities.
