Web Accessibility Basics

The web was designed to work for all people, whatever their hardware, software, language, location, or ability. When the web meets this goal, it is accessible to people with a diverse range of hearing, movement, sight, and cognitive ability.
Why It Matters
Accessibility is not just a nice-to-have; it is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions. More importantly, it is an ethical responsibility. Excluding 15% of the world's population from using your product is bad business.
Quick Wins
Use semantic HTML (nav, main, footer) instead of just divs.
Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background.
Always provide alt text for images.
Conclusion
Accessibility improves the experience for everyone. Captions help people in noisy environments, and good contrast helps people looking at phones in bright sunlight.
