What is website accessibility?
Learn how accessible websites make digital content easier to use for more people.
Theodore OwensUpdated 1 min read
Website accessibility means your site works for everyone, including people who are Deaf or hard of hearing, blind or low vision, or who navigate with a keyboard instead of a mouse.
Why it matters
An accessible website reaches more customers, reduces legal risk, and usually ranks better in search because the same structure that helps assistive technology also helps search engines.
What we check
- Color contrast that meets WCAG 2.2 AA
- Keyboard access for every interactive element
- Captions and transcripts for video
- Clear heading structure and descriptive links
- Forms with real labels and helpful errors
Where to start
Run a quick audit of your homepage and your most visited page. Fix contrast, headings, and image alt text first, then work through forms and navigation.
