Semantic HTML
Semantic HTML is the practice of using HTML elements for their meaning rather than appearance — header, nav, main, footer, article, section, button, label — so that browsers, assistive technologies and search engines can understand the document structure without authors adding ARIA.
About Semantic HTML
The single highest-leverage accessibility practice. Most ARIA usage is unnecessary if the underlying HTML is semantic.
