October 31, 2024
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of ensuring there are no barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites by people with disabilities. It is essential for creating an inclusive web experience.
There are four principles of accessibility: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR). These principles guide developers in creating accessible web content.
"Accessibility is not a feature, it's a requirement."
To implement accessibility, use semantic HTML, provide text alternatives for non-text content, and ensure that all interactive elements are keyboard accessible.
