    Check the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). There’s a tool in the Firefox devtools that checks for some WCAG standards.

    Some basics:

    • Always provide alt text for images
    • Contrast between background and text should be sufficient
    • Text should be easily readable (min. 16px font-size) and understandable
    • Site should be usable without CSS enabled
    • Check if you can navigate your UI without using a mouse

      Site should be usable without CSS enabled

      css or js? but this seems almost impossible to enforce considering that i’m using a js framework and without css website would just be a mess.

        I’m not updated on what current day screenreaders can do. I’d assume they can deal with JS these days, but I don’t know for sure.

        Screenreaders read all text on a page out loud for people with visual impairments. How your site looks doesn’t matter to screenreader software. The semantic structure of the HTML matters.
