When do I add accessibility in a React UI?
In the finishing phase. Add semantic HTML, accessible names, keyboard navigation, focus management for modals, sufficient color contrast, and test with a screen reader. Accessibility is part of polishing, not an afterthought.

More FAQs in Roadmap: Finishing and Polishing a React UI
Finishing and polishing: debug and fix bugs, handle all states, make it responsive, add accessibility, optimize performance, polish the UI, prepare for deployment, and test the deployed UI. Each step takes the UI from working to production-ready.
Debug and fix bugs. Run through the UI and fix every bug you find, using React DevTools, the Profiler, the Network tab, and strategic logs. A polished UI starts with no known bugs.
After bugs are fixed and states handled. Measure with the Profiler, stabilize references, wrap with React.memo where needed, virtualize long lists, lazy-load images, code split routes, and debounce inputs. Measure again to confirm each fix helps.
