Building Accessible Websites

Accessibility is about making the web usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. This blog covers essential best practices to build accessible websites that comply with standards such as the WCAG guidelines. Topics include providing descriptive alternative text for images, ensuring sufficient color contrast for readability, and designing navigation that works with keyboard input alone. We emphasize the importance of semantic HTML elements to help screen readers correctly interpret content, and the use of ARIA attributes where appropriate. Testing your site’s accessibility with automated tools and manual checks ensures inclusivity. Beyond legal compliance, accessible design improves overall user experience and broadens your audience. Building accessible websites is both an ethical responsibility and a smart business decision.
