"Making the web accessible for everyone!"
The Accessibility Guide is an educational project designed to showcase essential web accessibility features. It demonstrates how to make websites usable for everyone, including individuals with disabilities, by integrating accessibility principles such as semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, contrast management, keyboard navigation, and more.
This guide is a comprehensive resource for developers looking to implement accessibility best practices in their projects.
- Accessibility Overview: Explains the importance of accessibility and its benefits.
- Screen Readers: Demonstrates how to optimize websites for screen readers using ARIA roles and labels.
- Contrast & Colors: Provides high-contrast mode and tools to test contrast ratios.
- Keyboard Navigation: Ensures navigation is fully accessible via the keyboard, with focus management examples.
- Dynamic Content: Uses ARIA live regions to notify screen readers of content updates.
- Form Validation: Includes real-time form validation with accessible error messages.
- Accessible Animations: Implements motion reduction settings for users sensitive to animations.
