Accessibility & Usability

Accessibility

Design templates and forms to be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

  • Use semantic HTML elements (e.g., <header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>, <form>, <label>).
  • Provide alt text for images and ARIA attributes for interactive elements.
  • Ensure keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility.

Usability

  • Use clear labels, instructions, and error messages in forms and interfaces.
  • Group related fields and use logical tab order.
  • Provide feedback for user actions (e.g., loading indicators, success/error messages).

Automated Testing

  • Use tools like axe, pa11y, or Lighthouse to test accessibility.
  • Write tests for critical user flows and accessibility features.

Best Practices

  • Regularly review and update accessibility standards.
  • Document accessibility requirements for new team members.
  • Test usability with real users when possible.
