Common Accessibility Issues & How to Fix Them

Learn about the most frequent accessibility problems and their solutions

Missing Alt Text

Images without alternative text are not accessible to screen reader users.

How to Fix

Add descriptive alt text to all images using the alt attribute. For decorative images, use alt="".

Color Contrast

Insufficient contrast between text and background makes content difficult to read.

How to Fix

Ensure text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

Missing Form Labels

Form fields without proper labels are difficult for screen reader users to understand and navigate.

How to Fix

Associate each form input with a label element using the for attribute, or use aria-label/aria-labelledby.

Keyboard Navigation

Elements that can't be accessed using a keyboard exclude users who can't use a mouse.

How to Fix

Ensure all interactive elements can be reached and operated with the Tab, Enter, Space, and Arrow keys.

Heading Structure

Improper heading structure makes navigation difficult for screen reader users.

How to Fix

Use semantic headings (h1-h6) in a logical hierarchy without skipping levels. Each page should have one h1.
