Answer

  1. Use the 'alt' attribute for images or avoid using them if the image is purely decorative.
  2. Utilize ARIA attributes like aria-label or aria-labelledby for complex components.
  3. Ensure all interactive components have accessible names, especially when using custom elements.
  4. Leverage semantic HTML elements, as they inherently provide accessible names.
