Accessible website design and development

Web Accessibility: Practical Foundations

Web accessibility means designing and developing digital experiences that more people can perceive, understand and operate. It benefits people with permanent disabilities as well as anyone facing a temporary, situational or device-related limitation.

Use semantic structure

Headings, landmarks, lists, buttons and links should reflect their real purpose. Semantic HTML gives browsers and assistive technologies dependable information.

Support different ways of navigating

All functionality should work with a keyboard. Focus must remain visible and follow a logical order, without trapping users inside a component.

Make content perceivable

Provide meaningful alternatives for informative images, captions or transcripts for relevant media, sufficient color contrast and layouts that remain usable when text is enlarged.

Design clear interactions

Label form controls, explain errors and avoid relying on color alone. Give users enough time and control over movement, audio and unexpected changes.

Test with people and tools

Automated checks find only part of the problem. Combine them with keyboard testing, screen-reader review and feedback from people with disabilities throughout the product lifecycle.
