Accessibility is not a feature you add at the end of a sprint; it is an empathy-driven discipline that shapes every layer of your design and markup.
Focus States Are Not Optional
Removing outline: none without an accessible custom focus ring is one of the most widespread violations on modern web pages. Keyboard navigators, power users, and screen reader operators depend on visual feedback to understand their spatial location in your DOM.
Semantic Markup Does 80% of the Heavy Lifting
Before reaching for complex ARIA attributes, make sure you are using native HTML5 elements properly. A button is a <button>, a navigation container is a <nav>, and a main landmark is <main>.
