To create truly accessible digital experiences, it is essential to understand when to rely on semantic HTML, when to integrate WAI-ARIA, and how to ensure compliance with WCAG. Let's explore a practical method to determine the most effective solution based on real-world use cases, helping to avoid common mistakes and optimize interface accessibility.

Semantic HTML is the ideal choice when native elements already provide the necessary functionality, ensuring greater compatibility and better interpretation by assistive technologies. On the other hand, WAI-ARIA becomes crucial in scenarios where HTML alone is insufficient to enhance usability and interaction with dynamic elements or complex structures. In some cases, the best solution is a combination of both approaches, using WAI-ARIA only when strictly necessary to improve semantics and navigability.
