Accessibility and inclusive design concepts

Accessibility isn't just a legal requirement—it's a fundamental principle of good web design. Building accessible applications benefits everyone and creates a more inclusive digital experience.

Semantic HTML

Use semantic HTML elements to provide meaning and structure to your content. Screen readers and other assistive technologies rely on proper HTML semantics.

Keyboard Navigation

Ensure all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard. Implement proper focus management and visible focus indicators.

Color and Contrast

Use sufficient color contrast ratios and don't rely solely on color to convey information. Consider users with color vision deficiencies.

Alternative Text

Provide meaningful alternative text for images and other non-text content. This helps users with visual impairments understand your content.

Testing with Assistive Technologies

Test your applications with screen readers, voice recognition software, and other assistive technologies to ensure they work properly.
