Accessibility Checklist

Overview

This checklist provides a comprehensive guide to ensuring your website is accessible to users with disabilities. It covers a range of guidelines and best practices. Remember to always test with assistive technologies and real users.

• 1. Semantic HTML: Use appropriate HTML elements (e.g., <header>, <nav>, <main>, <article>, <aside>) to structure your content semantically.
• 2. Alternative Text for Images: Provide descriptive <alt> text for all images, conveying the image's content and function.
• 3. Keyboard Navigation: Ensure all functionality is accessible via keyboard navigation. Provide clear focus indicators.
• 4. Color Contrast: Maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background colors. Use tools to verify contrast ratios.
• 5. ARIA Attributes: Use ARIA attributes judiciously to provide additional context to assistive technologies.
• 6. Forms: Ensure form labels are properly associated with their input fields and provide clear error messages.
• 7. Headings: Use headings (h1-h6) logically to structure your content.
