To design accessible interfaces:

  • Perceivable: Use sufficient color contrast, alt text for images, and resizable text.
  • Operable: Ensure navigation works via keyboard and screen readers.
  • Understandable: Use clear language, headings, and predictable navigation.
  • Robust: Use semantic HTML to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies.

Tools to test accessibility:

  • WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool)
  • Axe Accessibility Checker
  • Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools

Example:

<img src="product.jpg" alt="Red sneakers for running" />
