An exploration of accessibility principles in web design, with practical tips to make digital experiences inclusive and compliant with standards.
Why Accessibility Matters
Accessibility ensures that people with disabilities can use your product. It’s also good UX and often a legal requirement.
Core Principles
- Perceivable — information must be presented in ways all users can perceive.
- Operable — UI elements must be usable via different input methods.
- Understandable — content must be clear and predictable.
- Robust — content must work with assistive technologies.
Practical Tips
- Use semantic HTML elements.
- Provide alt text for images.
- Ensure sufficient color contrast.
- Support keyboard navigation.
Conclusion
Accessibility is not optional. By integrating accessibility early, you create better products for everyone.
