Enhanced Guide for Accessibility and Ease of Use:

  • Use Semantic HTML: Choose elements that accurately describe their content, e.g., <header> for page headers, <main> for main content.
  • Provide Alternative Text: Add alt attributes to images to provide alternative descriptions for visually impaired users.
  • Use Headings Appropriately: Structure content using heading elements (h1 to h6) for improved navigation.
  • Use ARIA Attributes: Utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information for assistive technologies.
  • Test for Accessibility: Use tools like aXe or WAVE to analyze your web pages for accessibility issues.
