The whole category in one page.

WHAT IT IS

Building a site people can use regardless of how they access it.

Not a separate version. The same site, built properly.

THE FIVE THAT MATTER MOST

Colour contrast, at least 4.5 to 1 Visible labels on every form field Everything reachable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator Alt text on meaningful images Proper heading structure

THE TESTS ANYONE CAN DO

Tab through the page. Can you reach and use everything? Zoom to 200 per cent. Does it still work? View in greyscale. Is anything now unclear? Run a contrast checker on your text.

WHAT TO AVOID

Text baked into images Placeholder text as labels Removing focus indicators Colour as the only signal Autoplaying media Overlay tools sold as compliance

FOR CONTENT EDITORS

Alt text, heading levels, descriptive links. Three habits.

WHAT TO CLAIM

What you have actually done, with a contact route for problems.

Never compliance you have not tested.

THE UNDERLYING POINT

Most of this improves the site for everyone. Do it because people need it.
