Accessibility Wins

Sometimes, impact comes not from invention, but from attention.
From pausing long enough to notice a button with no label.
Or a contrast ratio that leaves users squinting.
This is where accessibility lives—not in grand gestures, but in the subtleties we often overlook.

Accessibility isn’t a checklist—it’s an invitation to care.

✨ Small Fixes, Big Ripples

When we built Accessibly Yours at ZafronMoon, I kept encountering tiny fixes that unlocked massive value:

• aria-label="Scan Site" turned a floating icon button into a clear action for screen readers.
• Adding role="region" and proper aria-labelledby helped structure pages for keyboard users.
• Adjusting contrast on call-to-action buttons improved clarity for low-vision users—and just looked cleaner overall.

🎯 One Win: The “Audit My Site” Button

Originally just a glossy circle with an SVG, it looked cool—but screen readers saw... nothing.

<button aria-label="Audit My Site">
  <ScanIcon />
</button>

That one line made it discoverable. It wasn’t just a fix—it was a handshake.

Our initial purple-on-blue looked sleek on a retina screen—and nearly invisible in sunlight.

Using tools like @accessibility-insights and @axe-core/react, we bumped contrast just a notch, from 3.8:1 to 5.1:1. Suddenly, that CTA popped—not only for low-vision users, but for everyone scrolling under a summer sky.

🔧 Takeaways

Use aria-* attributes with intention. Check contrast early, not just before launch. Test with keyboard, screen reader, and sunlight.

Design for the edge, and you raise the center. Accessibility lifts all boats.
