HTML Accessibility
HTML Accessibility refers to the practice of designing and coding HTML content to be usable by people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments. It involves implementing semantic HTML elements, ARIA attributes, and proper document structure to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies like screen readers. This ensures web content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.
Developers should learn HTML Accessibility to comply with legal requirements (e.g., WCAG, ADA, Section 508) and create inclusive web experiences that reach a broader audience. It is essential for building websites and applications that are usable by people with disabilities, improving SEO through semantic markup, and enhancing overall user experience. Use cases include e-commerce sites, government portals, educational platforms, and any public-facing web content.
