Accessibility
About 95% of websites fail basic accessibility checks (WebAIM Million report, 2025). Accessible sites also rank better in search engines because they use semantic HTML that crawlers understand, which directly supports your SEO efforts. Rocket generates reasonable code by default, but you can ask it to go further with ARIA labels, alt text, keyboard navigation, and contrast fixes.

​
What Rocket includes by default

Every Rocket site starts with a reasonable baseline:
  • Semantic HTML elements (nav, main, section, article)
  • Basic heading hierarchy
  • Standard form labels
  • Responsive layouts

​
What you can ask Rocket to improve

Tell Rocket in chat what to improve. Below are the most common requests.

​
Alt text for images

Descriptive alt text lets screen reader users understand images. Ask Rocket to add it across your site.

​
ARIA labels and roles

attributes tell assistive technology what interactive elements do. Ask Rocket to label buttons, links, form fields, and navigation.

​
Keyboard navigation

Some visitors navigate with a keyboard instead of a mouse. Ask Rocket to make every interactive element reachable with Tab and add visible focus indicators.

​
Color contrast

Low contrast makes text hard to read for people with low vision. Ask Rocket to check and fix contrast issues against thresholds.
A skip-to-content link lets keyboard users jump past repeated navigation to the main content.

​
Accessibility statement

An accessibility statement documents your compliance efforts. Some organizations require it for procurement and legal reviews. You may also want to pair this with a privacy policy to cover both legal areas.

​
Commands

Use these slash commands from chat to audit and improve accessibility. You can find the full list of available commands in the commands reference.

​
/Generate Accessibility Report

Generate a compliance report documenting your site’s current accessibility status. Useful for enterprise procurement, ADA audits, and internal compliance reviews.Examples:
  • /Generate Accessibility Report
  • /Generate Accessibility Report for dashboard
In the US alone, over 5,000 digital accessibility lawsuits were filed in 2025 (UsableNet year-end report). Proactive auditing reduces legal risk.
