HTML semantics matter more than ever in the agentic web. Agents parse structure, not visual design. If it looks like a button but is just a div, agents will miss it. Accessibility now includes agent compatibility. #AgenticWeb #SemanticHTML #UX
To survive the Agentic Web, you must return to basics.

Use standard HTML <button> and <a> tags for interactions.

Avoid using generic <div> tags that rely on complex scripts to act like buttons. If the code doesn't explicitly say "button," the agent doesn't know it can push it.

A button is a button and a link is a link. Hooray!

An H1 isn't about font size. It's about meaning and structure. Diana Khalipina challenges common heading myths.

Why H1 is not just the biggest text on the page
Visually, you can make any text look like a heading with CSS, but for someone using a screen reader, an actual <h1> is part of the page structure.

✅ SUCCESS #1: AI Stopped Me From Confusing Screen Readers

My mistake? Using big headings

for visual style, not to build the site's structural outline. The AI acted as a coach, ensuring the "table of contents" made logical sense to screen readers.

Accessibility insight: Screen reader users navigate primarily via headings and landmarks. Structuring your content with proper semantic HTML creates a better experience than visual design alone. #a11y #SemanticHTML #DigitalAccessibility

Semantically correct HTML matters. The menu icon here is a div when it should be a button for correct keyboard and screen reader interaction. Always use semantic elements to build a web that works for everyone. #WebDev #Accessibility #a11y #InclusiveDesign #SemanticHTML #WebDesign

Accessible names should identify, not repeat semantics. A button is a button. Clear names reduce noise and improve UX.
