Start with structure

Use descriptive headings, meaningful page titles, and a predictable navigation structure. A clear information hierarchy helps people scan visually and navigate with assistive technology. Every page should have an obvious purpose.

Make interaction understandable

Give controls clear labels, visible keyboard focus, and comfortable touch targets. Do not rely on color alone to communicate status. In a form, explain errors next to the relevant field and tell the user how to correct them.

Design for different conditions

Check the experience with text enlarged, on a narrow screen, and without a mouse. Respect reduced-motion preferences and avoid unexpected movement. These checks often reveal usability issues that affect everyone.

Test throughout the project

Automated checks can find some problems, but they are not a complete accessibility review. Combine them with keyboard testing, screen reader checks, and feedback from people with different access needs. Keep accessibility part of ongoing maintenance.
