Accessibility means making sure everyone can use your website — including people who use screen readers, keyboards or have low vision. It is good for people, good for SEO and increasingly expected by law in many countries.

Quick wins

• Alt text: describe meaningful images in a few words.
• Colour contrast: make sure text stands out clearly from its background.
• Headings in order: use H1, H2, H3 to structure pages.
• Descriptive links: “View our pricing” is better than “click here”.
• Readable text: a comfortable font size and line spacing.

Keyboard and screen reader support

Everyone should be able to use menus, forms and buttons with just a keyboard. Visible focus styles show where you are on the page.

Forms

Every field needs a clear label, and error messages should explain how to fix the problem.

Media

Add captions to videos and avoid content that flashes or auto-plays with sound.

How to check

Free tools like WAVE and Lighthouse highlight common issues. For a full picture, combine automated checks with manual testing.
