Phase 3: Semantic HTML & ARIA Cheat Sheet
Landmark Roles (use HTML5 elements, not role attributes when possible)
<header> → banner (page header)
<nav> → navigation
<main> → main content (one per page)
<aside> → complementary
<footer> → contentinfo (page footer)
<section> → region (with aria-label)
<form> → form (with aria-label)
<search> → search
Common ARIA Patterns
Pattern Key ARIA Keyboard --- --- --- Modal dialog role="dialog", aria-modal="true", aria-labelledbyEsc closes, Tab trapped inside, focus returns on close Tabs role="tablist/tab/tabpanel", aria-selected, aria-controlsArrow keys switch tabs, Tab enters panel Accordion , aria-controlsEnter/Space toggles, all keyboard reachable Menu role="menu/menuitem", aria-haspopupArrow keys navigate, Esc closes, Enter selects Combobox/autocomplete role="combobox", aria-expanded, aria-activedescendantArrow keys navigate list, Enter selects, Esc closes Alert/toast role="alert" or aria-live="assertive"Auto-announced, dismissible Progress role="progressbar", aria-valuenow/min/maxAnnounced on change Toggle button aria-pressed="true/false"Space/Enter toggles Tooltip role="tooltip", aria-describedbyAppears on focus+hover, Esc dismisses
ARIA Rules of Engagement
- First rule of ARIA: Don't use ARIA if native HTML works —
> - Second rule: Don't change native semantics — Don't
- Third rule: All interactive ARIA controls must be keyboard accessible
- Fourth rule: Don't use
role="presentation" or aria-hidden="true" on focusable elements - Fifth rule: All interactive elements must have an accessible name
Accessible Name Priority (browser resolution order)
aria-labelledby (references another element's text)aria-label (string label) association (for form controls)- Contents (button text, link text)
title attribute (last resort — avoid)placeholder (NOT a label — supplementary only)
Phase 4: Testing Methodology
4-Layer Testing Pyramid
Layer 1: Automated Scanning (catches ~30% of issues)
Run on EVERY build/PR:
Tools (all free):
- axe-core — industry standard, lowest false positives
```bash
# In Playwright/Cypress
npm install @axe-core/playwright # or @axe-core/cypress
# In CI
npm install @axe-core/cli
axe https://your-site.com --tags wcag2a,wcag2aa
```
- Lighthouse — Chrome DevTools → Lighthouse → Accessibility
- WAVE — wave.webaim.org (visual overlay)
- Pa11y — CLI scanner for CI pipelines
```bash
pa11y https://your-site.com --standard WCAG2AA
```
CI pipeline integration:
# GitHub Actions example
a11y-test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- run: npm ci && npm run build
- run: npx pa11y-ci --config .pa11yci.json
- run: npx playwright test --grep @a11y
Layer 2: Keyboard Testing (catches navigation issues)
Test EVERY page/feature manually:
- Tab test: Tab through entire page — can you reach everything? Is order logical?
- Focus visibility test: Is the focus indicator always visible and clear?
- Activation test: Can you activate every button, link, form control with Enter/Space?
- Trap test: Can you always Tab or Esc out of components (modals, menus)?
- Skip link test: Does "Skip to main content" work?
Keyboard testing checklist per page:
keyboard_test:
page: ""
date: ""
tester: ""
results:
all_interactive_reachable: true/false
logical_tab_order: true/false
focus_always_visible: true/false
no_keyboard_traps: true/false
skip_link_works: true/false
custom_components_keyboard_operable: true/false
issues: []
Layer 3: Screen Reader Testing (catches semantic issues)
Test key flows with at least ONE screen reader:
Screen Reader OS Browser Cost --- --- --- --- NVDA Windows Firefox/Chrome Free VoiceOver macOS/iOS Safari Built-in JAWS Windows Chrome/Edge $$$ TalkBack Android Chrome Built-in
Essential screen reader checks:
- Page structure announced (headings, landmarks, lists)
- Images described (or correctly hidden if decorative)
- Forms: labels read, errors announced, required fields indicated
- Dynamic content announced (alerts, loading states, live regions)
- Custom components: role, name, state all announced
Quick VoiceOver test (macOS):
- Cmd+F5 to toggle
- VO+Right arrow to navigate
- VO+U for rotor (headings, links, landmarks)
- Tab for interactive elements only
Layer 4: Manual Expert Review (catches context & usability issues)
Quarterly or before major releases:
- Content readability and plain language
- Cognitive load assessment
- Error recovery paths
- Motion/animation sensitivity
- Touch target sizing (mobile)
- Color independence verification

Phase 5: Common Fix Patterns
Fix 1: Missing alt text
<!-- ❌ -->
<img src="chart.png">
<img src="decorative-swoosh.svg">
<!-- ✅ -->
<img src="chart.png" alt="Revenue grew 34% from $1.8M to $2.4M in Q3 2025">
<img src="decorative-swoosh.svg" alt="" role="presentation">
Fix 2: Color-only indicators
<!-- ❌ Error shown only by red border -->
<input style="border-color: red">
<!-- ✅ Error with icon, text, and color -->
<input aria-invalid="true" aria-describedby="email-error" style="border-color: red">
<span id="email-error" role="alert">⚠️ Please enter a valid email address</span>
Fix 3: Custom button
<!-- ❌ Div pretending to be a button -->
<div class="btn" onclick="submit()">Submit</div>
<!-- ✅ Just use a button -->
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
<!-- ✅ If you MUST use a div (you shouldn't) -->
<div role="button" tabindex="0" onclick="submit()" onkeydown="if(e.key==='Enter'||e.key===' ')submit()">Submit</div>
Fix 4: Form labels
<!-- ❌ Placeholder-only label -->
<input placeholder="Email address">
<!-- ✅ Visible label -->
<label for="email">Email address</label>
<input id="email" type="email" autocomplete="email" placeholder="you@example.com">
<!-- ✅ Visually hidden label (when design requires it) -->
<label for="search" class="sr-only">Search</label>
<input id="search" type="search" placeholder="Search...">
Fix 5: Focus management (SPA route changes)
// After client-side navigation:
// 1. Update document.title
document.title = `${newPageName} | Site Name`;
// 2. Move focus to main content or h1
const main = document.querySelector('main h1') || document.querySelector('main');
main.setAttribute('tabindex', '-1');
main.focus();
// 3. Announce to screen readers
const announcer = document.getElementById('route-announcer');
announcer.textContent = `Navigated to ${newPageName}`;
// <div id="route-announcer" aria-live="assertive" class="sr-only"></div>
Fix 6: Modal focus trap
function trapFocus(modal) {
const focusable = modal.querySelectorAll(
'button, [href], input, select, textarea, [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])'
);
const first = focusable[0];
const last = focusable[focusable.length - 1];
modal.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
if (e.key === 'Escape') { closeModal(); return; }
if (e.key !== 'Tab') return;
if (e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === first) {
e.preventDefault(); last.focus();
} else if (!e.shiftKey && document.activeElement === last) {
e.preventDefault(); first.focus();
}
});
first.focus(); // Move focus into modal on open
}
// On close: return focus to the trigger element
Fix 7: Live region for dynamic content
<!-- Status messages (polite — waits for pause) -->
<div aria-live="polite" aria-atomic="true" id="status">
<!-- JS updates: "3 results found", "Item added to cart" -->
</div>
<!-- Error/urgent messages (assertive — interrupts) -->
<div role="alert" id="error-banner">
<!-- JS updates: "Payment failed. Please try again." -->
</div>
CSS: Visually Hidden (screen reader only)
.sr-only {
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
height: 1px;
padding: 0;
margin: -1px;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(0, 0, 0, 0);
white-space: nowrap;
border-width: 0;
}
Phase 6: Design System Accessibility Standards
Color Contrast Requirements
Tools for checking:
- Colour Contrast Analyser (desktop app)
- WebAIM Contrast Checker (webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker)
- Stark (Figma plugin)
Minimum ratios:
Element WCAG AA WCAG AAA --- --- --- Normal text (<18pt) 4.5:1 7:1 Large text (≥18pt or ≥14pt bold) 3:1 4.5:1 UI components & graphics 3:1 — Focus indicator 3:1 — Disabled elements Exempt —
Touch Target Sizing
Standard Minimum Size Spacing --- --- --- WCAG 2.5.8 (AAA) 44×44 CSS px — WCAG 2.5.5 (AA) 24×24 CSS px 24px from other targets Apple HIG 44×44 pt — Material Design 48×48 dp 8dp spacing Recommendation 44×44 px minimum 8px spacing
Typography Accessibility
- Base font size: 16px minimum (body text)
- Line height: 1.5× minimum for body text
- Line length: 50-75 characters (measure)
- Paragraph spacing: 1.5× font size minimum
- Font choice: sans-serif for UI, high x-height, clear letterforms
- Never: All caps for long text, justified alignment, font size < 12px
Animation & Motion
/* Respect user preference */
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
*, *::before, *::after {
animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
scroll-behavior: auto !important;
}
}
- All animations: provide pause/stop control
- No content conveyed only through animation
- Parallax scrolling: provide alternative or respect
prefers-reduced-motion - Auto-playing video: never. User-initiated only.
Dark Mode Accessibility
- Re-check ALL contrast ratios in dark mode (common failure point)
- Don't just invert — pure white (#fff) on dark backgrounds causes halation
- Use off-white (#e0e0e0 to #f0f0f0) on dark backgrounds
- Colored text: re-verify contrast on dark backgrounds
- Images: consider transparent PNGs on dark backgrounds
Phase 7: Component Accessibility Specifications
For each common component, specify the complete accessible behavior:
Button
semantics: "<button> or role='button'"
accessible_name: "visible text or aria-label"
keyboard:
- "Enter/Space: activate"
states:
- "aria-disabled='true' (not HTML disabled — that removes from tab order)"
- "aria-pressed for toggles"
- "aria-expanded for menus/dropdowns"
notes:
- "Never use <a> for actions (buttons do things, links go places)"
- "Loading state: aria-busy='true', disable click, announce 'Loading...'"
Form Field
required:
- "Visible <label> with for= attribute"
- "Error message with aria-describedby"
- "Required indicator: aria-required='true' + visible '(required)' or '*' with legend"
- "autocomplete attribute for user data fields"
keyboard:
- "Tab to reach, type to fill"
- "Error: focus moves to first error field on submit"
validation:
- "Inline validation: after blur, not on every keystroke"
- "Error format: What went wrong + how to fix it"
- "Success: subtle confirmation, no modal"
group:
- "Related fields: <fieldset> + <legend> (radio groups, address blocks)"
Data Table
required:
- "<table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <th scope='col/row'>"
- "<caption> describing the table"
- "Complex tables: headers= attribute on <td>"
keyboard:
- "Sortable: button in <th>, aria-sort='ascending/descending/none'"
- "Pagination: standard button/link navigation"
responsive:
- "Small screens: horizontal scroll with sticky first column, or card layout"
- "Never hide columns without providing access to that data"
avoid:
- "Layout tables (use CSS grid/flex)"
- "Nested tables"
Navigation
required:
- "<nav aria-label='Main'> (label if multiple navs)"
- "Current page: aria-current='page'"
- "Skip link as first focusable element"
keyboard:
- "Tab to enter, Tab through items"
- "Dropdown menus: Enter/Space to open, Arrow keys to navigate, Esc to close"
mobile:
- "Hamburger: <button aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='menu-id'>"
- "Update aria-expanded on toggle"
Phase 8: Accessibility Scoring Rubric (0-100)
Dimension Weight 0-25 50 75 100 --- --- --- --- --- --- Automated scan 15% 50+ violations 20-49 5-19 0 critical/serious Keyboard navigation 20% Major traps, unreachable elements Most works, some gaps All reachable, minor focus issues Perfect tab order, visible focus, no traps Screen reader compat 20% Unusable (missing labels, roles) Partially navigable Mostly correct, minor omissions Full landmark/heading/label coverage Color & contrast 10% Multiple failures Some failures Mostly passing All elements ≥ AA ratios Forms & errors 15% Unlabeled, no error handling Labels exist, errors unclear Good labels, some error gaps Full labels, inline errors, suggestions Content structure 10% No heading hierarchy, no landmarks Partial hierarchy Good structure, minor gaps Perfect heading levels, complete landmarks Dynamic content 10% No live regions, modals trap Some announcements Most dynamic content announced All state changes properly announced
Scoring thresholds:

button: true,
child: IconButton(
icon: Icon(Icons.delete),
onPressed: _deleteItem,
),
)
Phase 12: Advanced Patterns
Cognitive Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 / COGA)
- Clear, simple language (aim for 8th grade reading level)
- Consistent navigation and layout
- Error prevention > error recovery
- Undo for destructive actions
- No time pressure unless essential
- Progress indicators for multi-step processes
- Help available on every page
Internationalization & Accessibility
dir="rtl" for right-to-left languages- Don't concatenate translated strings (word order varies)
- Number/date formatting: use
Intl API - Currency symbols: position varies by locale
- Test with longer text (German is ~30% longer than English)
PDF Accessibility
- Tag all content (headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, images)
- Reading order matches visual order
- Alt text on all images
- Language specified
- Bookmarks for navigation
- Tool: PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) — free
Email Accessibility
role="presentation" on layout tables- Inline styles (not external CSS)
alt on all images (including spacer GIFs: alt="")- Sufficient color contrast (check in dark mode too)
- Plain text version always available
- Semantic headings (
, ) - Link text descriptive (not "click here")
Quality Rubric: 100-Point Scoring (8 Dimensions)
