Are your JavaScript websites and applications accessible to all users? Are all the users able to interact with your application as intended regardless of their disabilities? Web accessibility often remains an afterthought even today, and I am here to share how we can change that. In this talk, we will explore best practices for designing and building user interactions for applications that are accessible and user-friendly for our users. Using semantic HTML and ARIA attributes, we will cover code strategies for interaction from a simple button to navigation, to different form elements and custom components. Session takeaway: The audience will understand how users can use the websites in different ways, they will learn different ways to test a scenario, and practical code solutions on how to make the interactions accessible.
