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

Asked on Oct 17, 2025

Answer

To improve the accessibility of your navigation menu, use semantic HTML elements and ARIA attributes to ensure screen readers and other assistive technologies can interpret your 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 block of navigation links.
  • Include the aria-label attribute to provide a clear label for the navigation region.
  • Ensure each link has descriptive text to help users understand where they will navigate.
