How do I make my website accessible?

Website accessibility ensures all visitors, including those with disabilities, can use your site.

Key practices include: adding alt text to all images, using sufficient color contrast, making all functionality keyboard-navigable, using proper heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3), adding captions to videos, ensuring forms have descriptive labels, using ARIA labels where needed, and testing with screen readers. Follow WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines as a minimum standard. Beyond being the right thing to do, accessibility improves SEO (search engines read the same elements screen readers do), reduces legal risk (ADA lawsuits against websites are increasing), and expands your potential audience by 15–20%.
