Complete List of WAI ARIA Roles and Their Uses

Web accessibility is the process of making your website equally usable to people of all abilities and disabilities. It’s about understanding that users with disabilities may use assistive technologies to access the web. As a website owner, it is your duty to ensure that you make your website adequately compatible with such assistive technologies. WAI ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a set of guidelines published by the W3C. It defines additional HTML attributes that you can apply to your tags. These attributes help improve accessibility and make your DOM structure more readable by assistive technologies.
