Accessibility in Cloudscape

Cloudscape Design System provides you guidelines and tools to help you build accessible interfaces, such as semantic markup and use of appropriate ARIA attributes. We strive to build Cloudscape components with accessibility in mind.

To help you build an accessible user interface (UI), we have the following suggestions:

  • Follow the accessibility guidelines section for each component on alternative text and ARIA regions, located in the usage tab of each component article.

  • Define ARIA labels that are aligned with the language context of your application.

  • Don't add unnecessary markup to components for roles and landmarks. Follow the guidelines for each component.

  • If you build a custom component, refer to accessibility standards and best practices for usability.
