Accessibility is not optional—it's essential. When building UI components, we must ensure they work for everyone, regardless of their abilities or the technologies they use.

Things components are built with accessibility in mind from the ground up. Every component includes proper ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation support, and semantic HTML elements.

Here are the key principles we follow:

1. Semantic HTML: We use the right HTML elements for the right purpose. Buttons are actual `<button>` elements, not styled divs.

2. ARIA Labels: All interactive elements have proper `aria-label` attributes for screen readers.

3. Keyboard Navigation: Every component supports full keyboard navigation. Users can tab through interactive elements and activate them with Enter or Space.

4. Focus Management: Focus states are clearly visible with high-contrast outlines that match our bold design aesthetic.

5. Color Contrast: We maintain WCAG AA standards for color contrast, ensuring text is readable for users with visual impairments.

By following these principles, we create components that are not only beautiful but also inclusive. Accessibility should never be an afterthought—it should be built into every component from day one.
