Free WCAG 2.1 AA Starter Kit for Next.js & Tailwind CSS
Most teams know they should do WCAG. Few know where to start. Audits come back with 200 issues and the accessibility sprint gets pushed to next quarter. This free, open-source kit gives agencies, fintech teams, and public-sector contractors 6 reference screens built to WCAG 2.1 AA: keyboard navigation with focus trapping and skip links, ARIA landmarks, screen-reader-tested semantics, dark mode with maintained contrast, and custom React hooks for common accessibility utilities.
Most Starter Kits Bolt On Accessibility Later. This One Starts With It.
Every component, page, and interaction has been built with keyboard users, screen readers, and assistive technologies in mind.

Everything included:
5 fully accessible demo pages: Login, Dashboard, Data Table, Settings, and Notifications- Custom React hooks for focus trapping, keyboard navigation, reduced motion, and screen reader announcements

- MIT licensed. Use it in personal and commercial projects. No strings attached.
