5 Ways You’re Not Making Your Website Accessible

• A listicle by Twan Mulder, which I wasn’t expecting to learn anything from – but then I learned something from the very first point! It was this:
• You often need to denote the ‘current’ page in navigation, and you see this in the wild with class="active" or similar in the markup. Instead, it should use aria-current="page", to tell screen readers this is a link to the same page they’re already on.
• The other tips are to use aria-hidden to hide decorative separators between links; add visually hidden text to your icon links; apply ARIA markup to your <div> if you insist on not using a <button>; and, somewhat obviously, provide alt text for your images.
