 * A client had bought the pro version of this plugin, so I used it rather than 
   developing forms from scratch. I was helping him make his site GDPR compliant,&
   forms are a definite part of that. Ultimately, there was only 1 thing I absolutely
   could not do, ie, move a field. However, most of the links were poorly titled,&
   there were unlabeled buttons as well. The result was that working w/forms became
   an excruciating exercise in trial-&-error. Because the developers have written
   a forms plugin, & the importance of good form labels cannot be overemphasized,
   it surely was a disappointment. It’s definitely not even close to being A11Y 
   ready. I gave the plugin ** because, despite the really awful experience, I still
   think it has a great deal of potential. But if you’re visually impaired, this
   is definitively 1 to skip. I really hope these developers will develop a more
   accessible version, & I would certainly be willing to offer any assistance they
   might require. I am reachable on Slack.

 * Hi Jackie,
 * I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience while building forms with a screen
   reader. We’ve focused our time in this area on the front end forms, and we are
   pleased that the forms work very well for visitors with screen readers.
 * But we haven’t yet spent much time on the form builder page in regards to a11y.
   Thanks so much for the feedback!
