Accessibility no-brainers

My no-brainer accessibility improvements for smaller projects. From using the right HTML elements to preventing your animations from making people sick.

@medienbaecker Great article, thanks a lot for putting these tipps together! But I think you missed one no-brainer: Every time we publish an article with an "enforced dark mode" (light text on dark background with no way for readers to to switch) we get feedback from readers who have trouble reading the text. Ironically, your blog theme also does not seem to support a light mode theme 😅

@gka Thanks for the feedback, Gregor! You're absolutely right, different themes definitely help making a site accessible. They do require more development (and design) work than the no-brainers I focused on in my article. But it's definitely something I'll have to consider for my own site.
