Enhancing Web Accessibility with Tailwind CSS: A Framework Analysis

This research paper explores how Tailwind CSS can be used to improve web accessibility for individuals with disabilities, focusing on aspects such as semantic HTML structures, color contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility. It examines Tailwind’s utility classes, accessibility best practices, and real-world implementations to show how developers can build inclusive web applications. The study also addresses challenges, including the reliance on utility-based styling and the need for external tools to comply with WCAG standards. Findings suggest that while Tailwind CSS offers valuable tools for accessibility, developers must follow best practices, use ARIA attributes, and test with assistive technologies to ensure accessibility. Integrating accessibility-first strategies with Tailwind’s workflow can help create both visually appealing and universally usable web applications
