How to make your website forms accessible

Forms are how visitors become leads — so an inaccessible form directly loses you customers. They're also one of the most common accessibility trouble spots. The good news: the fixes are straightforward.

Accessible form basics

• •Every field has a proper, visible label.
• •Errors clearly say what's wrong and how to fix it.
• •The form works fully by keyboard.
• •Required fields and formats are clearly indicated.
• •Enough contrast and tap-friendly sizing on mobile.

Test it

Try completing your form using only the keyboard, and trigger an error to see if the message is clear. If you can complete it comfortably that way, most of your visitors can too.
