  • Implement proper ARIA labels and semantic HTML structure
  • Add keyboard navigation support for all interactive elements
  • Ensure screen reader compatibility and testing
  • Add focus management and skip navigation features
  • Implement color contrast and visual accessibility improvements

Files: All UI components, especially property cards, forms, and navigation elements
Acceptance Criteria:

  • WCAG 2.1 AA compliance achieved across all pages
  • Full keyboard navigation support implemented
  • Screen reader testing passed with JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
  • Color contrast ratios meet or exceed 4.5:1 for normal text
