Web Accessibility Basics

Create inclusive experiences that work for everyone.

What is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility means designing and developing websites that people with disabilities can use. This includes visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

WCAG Guidelines

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide a framework for accessible web content. The four principles are: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR).

Key Practices

• Use semantic HTML elements
• Provide alt text for images
• Ensure sufficient color contrast
• Make all functionality keyboard accessible
• Use ARIA labels when necessary
• Test with screen readers
