Your goal

Sort each design choice: accessible, or a barrier?

What you know

Success looks like

Easy to see — You protected contrast and readable text.
Makes sense when read aloud — Images and buttons have meaningful names.
Works with a keyboard — Every action can be reached with Tab and Enter.

Skills you used

Empathy — Understanding how others feel.
Debugging — Finding what's wrong and why.

In real life

Many countries require public websites and apps to follow accessibility guidelines (such as WCAG). Developers test with screen readers and keyboards, not just their eyes.
