Web accessibility isn't just about compliance—it's about creating inclusive experiences that work for everyone. When done right, accessibility improvements benefit all users and can significantly improve your site's usability and SEO.

Proper HTML structure and ARIA labels are fundamental to accessibility. Learn how to use semantic elements and ARIA attributes effectively.

Color and Contrast

Visual accessibility goes beyond just color blindness. Discover how to create designs with appropriate contrast ratios and alternative visual cues.
