As we age, impairments can affect how we use the web. Our vision, hearing, memory or dexterity may decline, requiring us to rely upon sites being accessible to use them independently. Find more ways to assist people online: zurl.co/9ti1L #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons

Relying on placeholder text alone in form fields creates barriers. It disappears as users type and may not be announced clearly by screen readers. Use persistent labels (<label> elements) so field purpose is always clear. webaim.org/techniques/forms/ #accessibility #a11y #WebDev
