  • Changing a div to an article/section can make a huge difference (Semantic HTML )

  • Use h1 – h6 for anything that is a header to notify screen readers about the page sections

  • Use links for navigation

  • Handle all On-click functions with a button

  • If an element is off-screen, ensure that its visibility is set to hidden

  • Making good use of ARIA which helps to add a semantic behavior to an element that isn’t implicitly semantic

  • Labeling buttons to give additional information on what the button does
