Thank you for sharing. I'm missing a few points on the list but I'm getting there (can't really decide on the back-end language). Glad you mentioned ARIA, all front-end tutorials seem to forget about them or never mention them.

Welcome. Personally I like C#/.NET for the backend language, but that might be influenced by the fact that I'm working at Microsoft right now.

TBH, something like 60% of dealing with accessibility is a) make sure everything has the right alt/title tags, b) make sure your colors have enough contrast, and c) use the semantically appropriate element. You don't always need to use ARIA, but you should at least know it's there for when you do need it.

Great points, I am actually writing a series of articles related to accessibility these days so I'll definitely keep these in mind. We use C# at work for backend stuff so it might be a good choice.
