How can I create a navigation menu that improves accessibility?

Asked on Oct 23, 2025

Answer

To create an accessible navigation menu, use semantic HTML elements like

and

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    <nav aria-label="Main Navigation">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#services">Services</a></li>
        <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Use the <nav> element to define the navigation section, which helps screen readers identify it as a menu.
The aria-label attribute provides a text label for the navigation, improving accessibility for users with assistive technologies.
Ensure all links have descriptive text to clearly convey their purpose.
