The 4 Principles of Web Accessibility
Content must be presented in ways that all people can perceive, with alternatives like text for images or captions.
The web must be usable with a keyboard, mouse, or assistive technologies, avoiding barriers like strict time limits.
Information must be clear and easy to understand, with consistent instructions and easy-to-correct errors.
Content must work across various technologies, including assistive tools, and remain accessible over time.
