Web Accessibility
Web accessibility makes websites usable by people with different abilities, devices, and contexts.
What Is Web Accessibility
Accessibility includes semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, readable contrast, labels, focus states, and compatibility with assistive technologies.
Good accessibility also improves overall usability.
How To Use Web Accessibility
Start with semantic HTML, test keyboard flows, provide text alternatives, and use ARIA only when native HTML is not enough.
Basic Example
<button type="button" aria-label="Close dialog">
X
</button>
