Accessibility basics every website should have
Small, high-impact changes that make your site usable for everyone — and better for SEO too.
Accessibility isn't a "nice to have" — it's how a real chunk of your audience uses the web, and it overlaps heavily with good SEO.
The high-impact basics
- Alt text on meaningful images.
- Real headings in order (one h1, then h2s…).
- Keyboard navigation — everything reachable and visible on focus.
- Colour contrast that passes WCAG AA.
- Labels on every form field.
- Respect reduced motion for animations.
None of these are hard, and together they make your site work for screen readers, keyboard users, and everyone on a phone in bright sunlight.
