# Building Accessible Web Applications
Accessibility is not optional. Let's learn how to build inclusive web applications.
## Semantic HTML
Use semantic HTML elements:
- Use proper heading hierarchy (h1-h6)
- Use button elements for interactive elements
- Use nav, main, article, section appropriately
## ARIA Attributes
When semantic HTML isn't enough:
- Use aria-label for screen readers
- Implement aria-live regions for dynamic content
- Use aria-expanded for collapsible content
## Keyboard Navigation
Ensure your app is keyboard accessible:
- All interactive elements should be focusable
- Implement logical tab order
- Provide visible focus indicators
## Conclusion
Building accessible applications benefits everyone and is the right thing to do.
