For a site backed by infinite money, like banks, there is no excuse.


For a web developer to try to understand all of the "aria" accessibility 
enhancements (a11y - it's such a big topic even the word doesn't get 
typed out), it's an entirely separate job.


I've been playing with Material Design (by Google), and each component 
of MUI has an ARIA section and, where possible, the components take care 
of as much of that as possible by default.



So, yes it could and *should* be better.

Also, it's a very complex topic and many / most devs won't have access 
to testing tools like screen readers.


Material Design at least makes colours, contrast, and keyboard 
navigation quite easy, and helps with ARIA labelling.

It's worth looking into, it's pretty nice.

Tailwind (originally by Twitter, I think), also looks nice.
