Purpose

Ensures WCAG 2.1 AA compliance for lead generation websites. Legal requirement under UK Equality Act 2010. Provides essential patterns for keyboard navigation, screen readers, focus management, and ARIA implementation.

Core Rules

1. Keyboard navigable — All interactive elements reachable via Tab
2. Screen reader friendly — Semantic HTML, proper ARIA
3. Visible focus — Clear focus indicators on all elements
4. Sufficient contrast — 4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI components
5. No motion harm — Respect prefers-reduced-motion
6. Semantic HTML first — Use native elements before ARIA
7. Labels required — Every form input must have a label
8. Alternative text — All images need appropriate alt text
