Accessibility (A11y)

Accessibility, often abbreviated as A11y (with "11" representing the number of letters between the "A" and the "y"), is the practice of designing and building digital content—such as websites and applications—in ways that ensure it is usable by everyone, including people with disabilities.

Digital accessibility covers a broad range of inclusive design principles and technical standards. It ensures that individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments can navigate, understand, and interact with digital experiences without barriers. From a development perspective, it’s about creating content that works for assistive technologies like screen readers, voice recognition software, and alternative input devices.

Key accessibility practices include:

• Using semantic HTML to convey meaning and structure (e.g., headings, buttons, lists).

• Applying ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes when native HTML elements aren’t enough to support screen readers and other assistive tools.

• Ensuring keyboard accessibility, so users who can’t use a mouse can still fully navigate and interact with a site.

• Providing alt text for images, sufficient color contrast, and clear focus states for interactive elements.

Beyond legal compliance and best practices, accessibility enhances the overall user experience and improves SEO, mobile usability, and performance. In short, accessible design is good design.

What is Superflex.ai?

Instead of handing designs off to developers or rewriting components from scratch, Superflex turns your Figma files directly into clean, modern React code. It understands structure, style, and intent—so what you design is exactly what gets built. No translation layer, no back-and-forth, just seamless execution from idea to interface.
