Why is accessibly so Important?

1) Add Alt Text to Images,always include a short description of what the image shows so people using screen readers can understand what it is.


 2) Your text should stand out clearly from the background so everyone can read it easily(even people with vision issues).


3) Organize your content using heading tags like <h1>, <h2>, and so on. This helps screen readers and makes your content easier to follow.


4) Let People Navigate With a Keyboard,Not everyone uses a mouse, so your site should work just as well using only a keyboard (like with the tab key).


5) Label All Form Fields,Make sure every input or form box has a label so people know what they’re supposed to type in.


6) Add Captions and Transcripts, If you use videos or audio, add captions or a transcript so people who can’t hear still get the information.


7) Use Clear Link Text,Don’t say “click here.” Use link text that explains where the link goes, like “View our services” or “Read the full guide.”


8) Avoid Flashing or Blinking Stuff! Fast flashing content can be harmful to some users. It’s best to keep things calm and smooth( siezures suck!).


9 Use ARIA Tags When Needed, These help assistive tech better understand your site layout, especially if you’re using more complex designs.


10) Test Your Site for Accessibility,Try tools like WAVE or Google Lighthouse to check for issues,and if possible, ask real users for feedback.
