Accessibility (WCAG)

A site usable even by people with disabilities.

What it is

Accessibility (a11y) means that people with visual, hearing, or motor disabilities can use the site too — via screen readers, the keyboard, etc. WCAG is the standard.

Why it matters

Besides the ethical and often legal reason, accessibility improves SEO and UX for everyone: alt texts, a good heading structure, descriptive links, and contrast help search engines too. An inaccessible site excludes part of the audience.

How to do it

  1. 1Add alt texts to images and labels to forms.
  2. 2Maintain a correct heading hierarchy (one H1, no skips).
  3. 3Ensure sufficient contrast and keyboard operability.
  4. 4Use descriptive link text (not "click here").

Conclusion

Accessibility and SEO go hand in hand — what helps a screen reader helps Google too. Start with alt texts, headings, contrast, and descriptive links. The Accessibility tool and the UX audit do the detailed check.
