Building Accessible Web Experiences: A Checklist for Frontend Developers
Pages should have descriptive titles. Make use of tag. Not just for accessibility reasons, its one of the key tools to improve your SEO.
- iFrames should have descriptive titles. iFrame is basically a page within a page, same rule applies for it too.
tag should have
lang
attribute. It helps screen readers to use correct pronunciation. If parts of your website use different languages, addlang
attribute to respective elements as well.- Roles: ARIA roles define the type of element and its purpose. Roles can be used to indicate whether an element is a button, link, menu, dialog, or other interactive components. For example,
role="button"
can be added to aelement to convey that it functions as a button.
- Labels. Interactive elements should have accessible name inside
aria-label
- Element semantics should not be inappropriately suppressed with aria-hidden. Avoid hiding elements from accessibility tree; If required, use CSS styles to make element invisible by changing opacity or visibility.
- Images should have alt attribute. Have you ever been stuck with slow connection and faced a white square wonder what's that supposed to be? Add an
alt
attribute so the images could be easily identified by text readers.Useful tools
Going through all those checkpoints might be overwhelming, and indeed, the larger your webpage or application is, the more effort it will take to find and address them.
There are, luckily excellent tools that can jumpstart the process.
- WAVE: A free online tool that provides visual feedback about the accessibility of your web content, highlighting potential issues and offering suggestions for improvement.
- axe DevTools: An accessibility testing extension for Google Chrome and Firefox that can be used directly within the browser's developer tools.
- Pa11y: An open-source automated accessibility testing tool that you can run from the command line or integrate into your CI/CD pipeline.
- Lighthouse Accessibility Audit: Excellent for a quick accessibility insight, Lighthouse is available with Google Chrome dev tools and checks highlight opportunities to improve the accessibility of your web app.
Remember that automated tools are valuable for identifying many common accessibility issues, but manual testing is often necessary to fully understand and address the user experience for people with disabilities. A combination of automated and manual testing, along with a commitment to ongoing accessibility, is key to maintaining an accessible web presence.
Happy coding!

Making the "xrandr --setmonitor" setting permanent
