How does it help with web accessibility (A11y)?

It provides specific implementation patterns for semantic HTML, ARIA roles, keyboard focus management, and color contrast requirements to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1+.

Can this skill help improve mobile usability?

Yes, it includes guidelines for mobile-first CSS architecture, minimum touch target sizes, and responsive grid layouts to ensure a seamless experience across devices.

What core UX concepts does this skill cover?

The skill focuses on Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics, WCAG accessibility standards, responsive design, perceived performance, and advanced form UX patterns.

Does it provide guidance on error handling?

Absolutely. It emphasizes error prevention through input constraints and clear, human-readable feedback rather than showing technical system errors to end-users.
