Accessibility basics

Practical first steps toward an accessible site. Not a conformance certification.

• Set the page language.
• Give every meaningful image alt text; use alt="" for decorative images.
• Label every form control.
• Keep heading levels in order.
• Make focus visible.
• Respect prefers-reduced-motion.
• Check color contrast.

Automated checks catch some issues, not all. Manual testing with assistive technology matters.
