Creating accessible components

Accessibility is not a feature – it's a requirement. Building components that everyone can use should be the default, not an afterthought.

WCAG Guidelines

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines provide a framework for creating accessible experiences. Aim for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance at minimum.

All interactive elements should be reachable and operable using only a keyboard. This includes proper focus management and visible focus indicators.

Use semantic HTML and ARIA attributes appropriately. Test your components with actual screen readers like NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.

Never rely on color alone to convey information. Ensure text has sufficient contrast against its background.
