About

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a W3C technical specification that defines how to improve the accessibility of web content and applications, particularly those with dynamic interfaces and custom controls.

It provides a set of roles and properties that can be added to HTML to describe user interface elements, their relationships, and current states, enabling assistive technologies such as screen readers to interpret widgets, live updates, and complex interactions that are not natively accessible.

With Twitter Cards, you can attach rich photos, videos and media experiences to tweets, helping to drive traffic to your website.
