Make structure understandable
Use meaningful headings, descriptive links, explicit form labels, and predictable navigation. A well-structured page helps readers, assistive technology, and content discovery.
Support different ways to interact
Important actions should be available with a keyboard. Focus states must be visible. Motion should respect user preferences, and information should not depend on color alone.
Design for real reading conditions
Readable text, generous spacing, adequate contrast, and responsive layouts improve usability across devices and situations. Avoid hiding essential instructions inside decorative graphics.
Test throughout delivery
Automated checks catch some issues, but keyboard testing, assistive technology review, and feedback from people with disabilities add essential context. Accessibility is ongoing work, not a badge applied at launch.
