Accessibility is not decoration added after a UI is finished. It is a design condition that supports usability from the start. When you ask AI to build a screen, visual instructions are not enough. You also need to describe meaning, interaction, state changes, and verification.
This section introduces the core ideas of accessibility, then shows what to check in AI-generated UI: meaning, interaction, state changes, and verification.

What This Section Emphasizes
Start with meaningful HTML — Define headings, links, buttons, forms, and states before visual polish.
Assume keyboard operation — Make UI usable with Tab, Enter, Space, and Escape, not only mouse or touch.
Do not rely on color alone — Communicate errors, success, warnings, and selected states with text, icons, or shape as well.
Verify AI output — Do not trust “accessible” as a label. Check the result with the browser, automated tools, and manual operation.
