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

Asked on Oct 10, 2025

Answer

Improving the accessibility of your navigation menu involves using semantic HTML elements and ARIA attributes to ensure that 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 the 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 assistive technologies.
Ensure each <a> tag has meaningful text to describe the link's destination.
