Beginners guide to website accessibility | The 6 most common web accessibility mistakes

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to share this on website accessibility site that I made with you. It includes:

  • An overview of WCAG 2

  • The 6 most common web accessibility errors from the WebAIM Million 2026 with an overview, statistics and code examples, including:
    -Low contrast text
    -Missing Alt Text
    -Missing Labels
    -Empty Links and Buttons
    -Missing Language Declarations

  • Some links and tools that I found useful

Here is my site: https://wisdomandserviceproject-hash.github.io/project.github.io/

Please give me feedback on my site, I would love to hear your suggestions/criticisms!

Nice work. Accessibility is one of those areas that many teams treat as a compliance checkbox, but it often improves usability for everyone, not just users with disabilities.

One suggestion: consider adding a section about accessibility testing in real development workflows. Many developers know the WCAG guidelines, but fewer know how to integrate accessibility checks into CI/CD pipelines using tools like Lighthouse, axe-core, or automated audits.

I also think it’s worth highlighting that accessibility issues are often easier and cheaper to fix during development than after a site reaches production.

The focus on the most common WebAIM findings is a great choice because it gives beginners practical issues they can immediately identify and improve.
