Accessibility
Accessible digital design ensures that users of all different abilities can use the interface in top level.Accessibility is a fundamental aspect of web development. Plus UI is committed to creating user interfaces that can be accessed and used by individuals with disabilities. This documentation outlines our efforts to meet accessibility standards and provides resources to help you make your projects accessible.At Plus UI, we are dedicated to achieving the highest levels of accessibility. We adhere to established accessibility guidelines and strive to make our UI library user-friendly for all. Our commitment includes:
Compliance: We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, a globally recognized standard for web accessibility.
Testing: Regular accessibility testing and evaluations are conducted to identify and address accessibility issues.
Education: We continuously educate our development team about accessibility best practices to ensure that accessibility is a core component of our design and development process.
Furthermore, our design approach seeks to steer clear of low-contrast elements, diminutive text or icons, and instead focuses on optimizing for keyboard interactions. We prioritize clear hierarchy and the organized presentation of information, avoiding extensive blocks of text that might overwhelm users. Our designs are not overly crowded, and we emphasize responsive design to accommodate browser zooming while maintaining legibility. We do not rely solely on color to convey information; instead, we supplement it with text or iconography for accessibility and user-friendliness.

Guidelines and Resources
To ensure that your projects built with Plus UI are accessible, To make sure products are accessible to everyone, https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/intro.html#introduction-fourprincs-head
WCAG Standards: Familiarize yourself with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to understand the requirements for accessible web content.
Keyboard Testing: Test your applications with keyboard navigation to ensure all interactive elements are operable.
Screen Reader Testing: Verify that your projects are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
Alt Text: Provide meaningful alt text for images and ensure that they convey the intended information.
Color Contrast: Ensure that text and background colors have sufficient contrast for readability.
Color Contrast
Adhering to accessibility guidelines, we recommend maintaining sufficient color contrast between text and background elements. This ensures that text is legible and perceivable by users with various visual abilities.
When designing components or interfaces, aim for a color contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for standard text and 3:1 for large text. This not only meets accessibility standards but also enhances readability for a broader audience.
Consider using our predefined color tokens that adhere to these contrast guidelines, making it easier for you to create visually appealing and accessible interfaces. By prioritizing color contrast, you contribute to a user-friendly experience that is welcoming and usable for everyone.
Keyboard
Our UI library prioritizes keyboard accessibility for an inclusive user experience. Follow these guidelines:
Tab Index and Order:
Ensure a logical tab order for interactive elements.
Focus Styles:
Implement clear focus styles for visibility.
Interactive Elements:
Make all components keyboard-operable.
ARIA Roles:
Use ARIA roles for accurate interpretation.
Skip to Content Link:
Include a "Skip to Content" link for efficient navigation.
Prioritizing keyboard accessibility enhances usability for all users, fostering an inclusive interface
