Accessibility Checks:

1. Keyboard Navigation

• Ensure focus states are clearly visible and provide logical navigation order.

2. Screen Reader Compatibility

• Check that all relevant elements have appropriate ARIA roles and labels.
• Ensure that screen reader users receive contextual information about elements and their states.

3. Focus Management

• Confirm that focus is managed properly during dynamic content updates or when modals are opened/closed.
• Avoid keyboard traps where a user cannot exit or move focus.

4. Color Contrast

• Validate that all text and interactive elements meet minimum color contrast ratios.
• Ensure that color is not the sole means of conveying important information.

• Ensure headings, lists, and other elements follow a logical hierarchy.

6. Form Accessibility

• Verify that all form fields have accessible labels and instructions.
