Accessibility Overhaul
I specialize in UI/UX optimization with a focus on inclusive design. This showcase demonstrates the process of auditing and remediating a web form to meet modern accessibility standards (WCAG).
1. Initial Audit
The process starts with a thorough audit. The original form suffered from several critical issues, including poor color contrast and missing input labels, resulting in a very low accessibility score and a frustrating experience for users with visual impairments.
2. Fix Color Contrast
The first step is to ensure all text is legible. I adjusted the text and background colors to meet WCAG AA standards for color contrast, making the form instantly more readable for users with low vision.
3. Add Semantic Labels
Placeholder text is not a substitute for a proper label. I added semantic `
4. Ensure Keyboard Navigation
Finally, I ensure the form is fully usable without a mouse. This includes adding clear `:focus` indicators so users can easily see which element they are interacting with, achieving a near-perfect accessibility score.
