Why Accessibility Matters
Over 1 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. Building accessible websites isn't just good ethics — it's good business.
Semantic HTML
Start with proper semantic HTML. It's the foundation of accessibility.
Keyboard Navigation
Ensure all interactive elements are keyboard accessible. Use proper focus management.
ARIA Labels
Use ARIA attributes when semantic HTML isn't sufficient to convey meaning.
Color Contrast
Maintain WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios — at minimum 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
Testing
Use tools like axe-core, Lighthouse accessibility audit, and manual screen reader testing.
Conclusion
Accessibility is a journey, not a destination. Start with these fundamentals and iterate.
