Quick Reference

WCAG 2.1 AA - Most Common Issues

ID Name Key Point
1.1.1 Non-text Content All images need alt text
1.4.3 Contrast 4.5:1 normal, 3:1 large text
2.1.1 Keyboard All interactive elements keyboard accessible
2.4.7 Focus Visible Focus indicator must be visible
4.1.2 Name, Role, Value Custom widgets need ARIA

ARIA - First Rule

Don't use ARIA if native HTML works.

<!-- Prefer native HTML -->
<button>Submit</button>           <!-- Not: <div role="button"> -->
<input type="checkbox">           <!-- Not: <div role="checkbox"> -->

Common ARIA Patterns

Pattern Key Roles Key Attributes
Dialog dialog aria-modal, aria-labelledby
Tabs tablist, tab, tabpanel aria-selected, aria-controls
Accordion - aria-expanded, aria-controls
Combobox combobox, listbox, option aria-expanded, aria-activedescendant
Menu menu, menuitem aria-haspopup, aria-expanded

Text Type Minimum Ratio Example
Normal text 4.5:1 #595959 on #fff (7:1)

UI components 3:1 Button borders, form inputs
