Accessibility (a11y) Best Practices

Make your themes usable for everyone, including people with disabilities.

Web accessibility (a11y) ensures that people with disabilities can use your website. Building accessible themes is not just good practice; it's essential for an inclusive web.

Key Principles

  • Semantic HTML: Using correct HTML tags (as mentioned in SEO) helps screen readers understand the page structure.
  • Image Alt Text: Always provide descriptive `alt` attributes for images. Blogger's post editor lets users add this easily.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Ensure all interactive elements like links and buttons can be accessed and used with the Tab key.
  • Color Contrast: Make sure your text has sufficient contrast against its background. Use online tools to check your color combinations.
