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.
