Cultural Fit Mid Level

How do you approach accessibility when building user interfaces? What practices do you follow?

Quick Tip

Show that accessibility is part of your development process, not a separate phase. Mention specific tools you use and WCAG levels you target.

What good answers include

Strong answers include: semantic HTML, ARIA attributes when needed, keyboard navigation, colour contrast, screen reader testing, alt text for images, and testing with tools like axe or Lighthouse. Best candidates treat accessibility as a core requirement, not an afterthought, and mention WCAG guidelines and legal requirements.

What interviewers are looking for

Increasingly expected of frontend developers. Candidates who dismiss accessibility or have never considered it are missing a fundamental skill. Ask for a specific example of an accessibility issue they found and fixed.
