Accessibility Standards
Building for the web means building for everyone. Ignoring accessibility is not an option—it is a core engineering requirement.
The Cost of Exclusion
When curriculums fail to teach accessibility, we exclude millions of users with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities.
- Screen Readers: Rely heavily on semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks.
- Keyboard Navigation: Must be logical and visible (no outline: none).
- Color Contrast: Text must meet minimum ratio standards to be legible.
WCAG AA Requirements
Contrast: Minimum 4.5:1 for normal text.
Keyboard: All interactive elements must be focusable and operable via keyboard.
Alt Text: All non-text content must have a text alternative.
Interactive Tool: Contrast Ratio Checker
