Frontend Accessibility

Keyboard navigation and screen reader support are core accessibility features. Use semantic HTML elements, implement proper focus management with keyboard handlers, add ARIA attributes where semantic HTML is insufficient, and ensure all interactive elements are reachable via Tab key. This Skill guides you through these practices in code reviews and component development.

WCAG compliance means meeting Web Content Accessibility Guidelines standards for usable, perceivable interfaces. Frontend accessibility compliance requires semantic HTML markup, sufficient color contrast ratios, keyboard accessibility, skip links, focus indicators, and responsive behavior. This Skill helps you address these requirements systematically in your UI code.

Review components for semantic HTML usage, ARIA attribute correctness, keyboard navigation flow, focus management, color contrast levels, and responsive design behavior. This Skill provides structured guidance for identifying accessibility gaps in markup and interactions during design-to-implementation workflows.

Semantic HTML provides native meaning to screen readers and browsers—use it first for headings, buttons, lists, and landmarks. ARIA attributes enhance or clarify semantics when native elements cannot express the intended role or state. This Skill teaches when to use each and how to avoid redundant or incorrect ARIA usage.

While automated tools detect contrast and missing attributes, this Skill focuses on accessibility principles in your code itself—semantic markup, keyboard support, and proper ARIA usage. Automated tools are helpful but cannot replace manual testing with screen readers and keyboard navigation to verify genuine usability.

Yes. Accessibility is primarily a markup and interaction layer—semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard handlers, and focus indicators can be added without altering visual appearance. This Skill helps you maintain design intent while meeting functional accessibility requirements for diverse user abilities.
