Design an accessible form

Build clear labels, validation, focus behavior, and recovery into every form state.

Make fields understandable

Use visible labels and concise supporting text. Mark required fields in a way that does not depend on color alone.

Prevent and explain errors

Validate at a useful moment, connect messages to their fields, and preserve entered values after failure. Move focus to a useful summary when submission fails.

Test without a mouse

Complete the form with a keyboard, zoomed text, and a screen reader. Confirm focus order, announcements, and target sizes.
