Accessibility isn't just about compliance—it's about creating experiences that work for everyone. Here's how to build more inclusive products.

Understanding WCAG Guidelines

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines provide a framework for accessible design. Understanding these principles is the first step toward inclusive design.

Color and Contrast

Ensure sufficient color contrast for text readability. Tools like contrast checkers can help verify your color choices meet accessibility standards.

Keyboard Navigation

Many users rely on keyboard navigation. Ensure all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard and have visible focus states.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Use semantic HTML and ARIA labels to ensure screen readers can properly interpret your content.
