Web accessibility basics every developer should know

Making the web accessible doesn't only help people with disabilities; it improves the experience for everyone.

# Semantic HTML first

Using proper button, nav, and heading tags lets screen readers and keyboards work correctly without complex ARIA.

# Contrast and focus

Ensure text has enough contrast and every interactive element has a clear focus state for keyboard navigation.

• Always add alt for meaningful images
• Label every input
• Respect prefers-reduced-motion

An accessible web is a professional web.
