What is web accessibility and how does HTML help with it?
Web accessibility means that everyone can use your page, including people who are blind, deaf, cannot use a mouse, or have other disabilities. Good HTML does most of this work.
- Use semantic tags (
nav,main,button) so screen readers know what each part is. - Write the
alttext for images. - Connect
labelwith form fields. - Use headings in the right order (
h1toh6). - Add
langto thehtmltag. - Use ARIA attributes, like
aria-label, only when plain HTML cannot say what you mean.
<button aria-label="Close menu">X</button>
The first rule of ARIA is: if a real HTML tag does the job, use it. Related: the alt attribute.
