Breaking barriers
summary
Accessibility work makes the product more stable, searchable and usable and follows WCAG’s four principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, robust. Practical fixes include using CSS variables for accessible contrast, adding meaningful alt text or empty alt for decorative images, testing keyboard-only navigation by unplugging the mouse, and keeping hit targets at 44×44 px clickable area. Use automated checks like WAVE and Lighthouse and integrate the axe NPM module into CI, favor semantic elements and translatable copy.
