To ensure that the websites I design are accessible to users with disabilities, I follow these best practices:

1. Use semantic HTML: I make sure to use semantic tags like heading elements (h1, h2, etc.), lists, and landmarks (header, footer, main) to provide a clear structure for screen readers and assistive technologies.

2. Include alt text: I always add descriptive alt text to images so that users with visual impairments can understand the content of the images when they are read aloud by screen readers.

3. Provide keyboard navigation: I ensure that all interactive elements on the website, such as links and form fields, can be accessed and operated using only a keyboard. This helps users who are unable to use a mouse.

4. Design with color contrast in mind: I choose color combinations that meet accessibility standards to ensure that users with color blindness or low vision can easily read the content on the website.

5. Test with accessibility tools: I use accessibility testing tools like WAVE or AXE to identify and fix any accessibility issues on the website before it goes live.

By implementing these accessibility features and practices, I aim to make the websites I design inclusive and user-friendly for all users, including those with disabilities.
