Five Pillars of Accessible Design

These five areas help create a clearer, more usable experience for people using a keyboard, assistive technology, or visual accessibility settings.

WCAG 2.2

WCAG 2.2 is the W3C’s global accessibility standard for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. It provides testable success criteria and conformance levels (A, AA, AAA), giving teams a recognized framework for accessible design and evaluation.

Keyboard navigation accessibility features with web form and arrow key controls for moving through fields.

Keyboard Navigation

Keyboard navigation allows users to move through a page without a mouse. This supports interaction with links, buttons, menus, and forms using keyboard keys alone. WCAG includes keyboard accessibility as a key part of creating operable experiences.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Screen reader compatibility helps digital content work clearly with screen-reading tools so users can understand content, controls, and interface updates. WCAG is designed to improve access across disabilities—including blindness and low vision—using requirements that help assistive technologies interpret content and behavior.

WAI ARIA accessibility features shown on a web UI with labeled controls and semantic settings panel

WAI‑ARIA

WAI‑ARIA provides roles, states, and properties that help assistive technologies understand widgets, structure, and behavior—especially in dynamic interfaces and custom components. It improves accessibility and interoperability of web applications by exposing meaningful semantics to assistive technologies.

Dark Theme Support

High-contrast themes improve legibility by using stronger foreground/background separation—often with dark backgrounds and light text—making interfaces easier to use for people with low vision and color-vision deficiencies. WCAG includes success criteria focused on contrast and distinguishability to improve readability and usability.
