Enhancing Web Accessibility#

Web accessibility ensures that websites are usable by people with disabilities. This guide provides tips on enhancing web accessibility using HTML.

Use Semantic HTML#

Semantic HTML elements provide meaning to the content, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret:

<header>
  <h1>Website Title</h1>
</header>
<main>
  <article>
    <h2>Article Title</h2>
    <p>Article content...</p>
  </article>
</main>
<footer>
  <p>Footer content...</p>
</footer>

Provide Text Alternatives#

Use alt attributes for images to provide text alternatives:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of the image">

Use ARIA Roles and Attributes#

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles and attributes enhance accessibility for dynamic content:

<button aria-label="Close">X</button>

Ensure Keyboard Accessibility#

Make sure all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard:

<a href="#" tabindex="0">Link</a>
<button tabindex="0">Button</button>

Conclusion#

By following these tips, you can enhance the accessibility of your website, making it more inclusive for all users. Web accessibility is an essential aspect of web-development that benefits everyone.
