Just found out my HTML was full of accessibility errors this whole time
I ran my little portfolio site through a free checker called WAVE last night on a whim. Turns out I was missing alt text on like 8 images and had bad heading order the whole time. Took me maybe 20 minutes to fix everything but man, I felt dumb for not checking sooner. Has anyone else found hidden issues with their first projects using those free tools?

oh wait did you check your contrast ratios too? WAVE caught that for me and it was way worse than i thought, like colors i was so proud of picking were totally invisible to anyone with vision issues.

Jumped into that WAVE tool after reading this and realized my whole portfolio had missing form labels. Fixed it in like 15 minutes once I saw what was wrong, way easier than I thought. Its wild how these little things slip through when youre just focused on making it look pretty.
