Minimalist icon-only buttons
A screen reader can only announce “button” for an icon with no label — a blind guest is left guessing what each one does.
The choice you’re proud of
Minimalist icon-only buttons

A clean hamburger, cart, or arrow with no words next to it.
Who it shuts out
A screen reader can only announce “button” — it has no idea the icon means “menu” or “cart.” A blind guest is left guessing what each one does.
