Designing for Accessibility
Accessibility is not just a feature — it’s a fundamental design principle that ensures digital products are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. This project focuses on building websites and applications that comply with accessibility standards, providing seamless experiences to users regardless of their abilities or devices.
I develop accessible solutions by incorporating best practices such as semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and color contrast optimization. Every design choice is guided by the goal of inclusivity, ensuring that your product reaches the widest possible audience while meeting legal and ethical standards.
