How do I create a navigation menu that screen readers can easily understand?

Asked on Nov 11, 2025

Answer

To create a navigation menu that is accessible to screen readers, use semantic HTML elements like <nav> and <ul>, and include descriptive <aria-label> attributes.

<!-- 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.
The <aria-label> attribute helps screen readers identify the purpose of the navigation.
Organize links within a <ul> for better semantic structure.
