Web accessibility is a set of inclusive practices that enable all viewers to engage fully with your content. These practices entail complying with federal laws and conforming to standards, such as the WCAG. Examples of these practices include the following:
- Adding alt text to images

- Maintaining color contrast
- Including ARIA labels for non-visible text
