Web accessibility is critical for ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can enjoy your content. In this post, we’ll look at how to make your CSS animations accessible, so you can provide an inclusive experience for everyone.

1. Using the prefers-reduced-motion Media Query

Respect users' preferences for reduced motion by using the prefers-reduced-motion query to turn off or reduce animations.

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { .element { animation: none; } }

2. Providing Context with ARIA

When using animations to convey information, ensure that you're providing the necessary context for users relying on assistive technologies.

Content has been updated.

This ensures that screen readers will announce the update during animations.
