Designing Accessible Interfaces That Look Great

Accessibility is Design

The best designs are inherently accessible. Good contrast, clear hierarchy, and logical flow benefit every user.

Color and Contrast

Ensure text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios. Use tools to verify your palette works for users with color vision deficiencies.

Typography for Readability

Choose readable fonts, appropriate sizes, and generous line heights. Body text should be at least 16px with 1.5 line height.

Keyboard Navigation

Every interactive element must be reachable and operable with a keyboard. Use visible focus indicators.

Conclusion

Accessible design is simply good design. When you design for the widest range of abilities, everyone benefits.
