How can I improve the accessibility of my navigation menu in HTML?

Asked on Oct 14, 2025

Answer

Improving the accessibility of a navigation menu in HTML involves using semantic elements and ARIA attributes to ensure screen readers and other assistive technologies can interpret the menu correctly.

<!-- 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 a navigation section, which helps screen readers identify it as a menu.
The aria-label attribute provides a descriptive label for the navigation, improving clarity for users of assistive technologies.
Ensure all links have meaningful text to convey their purpose clearly.
