HTML is already designed to be accessible. Writing accessible websites is mostly about using the intended HTML elements and attributes.

Use <a> for links, use <form> for user input, with <label> and the proper input elements. Use the alt attribute for images that communicate information. The most common accessibility issues I see are recreating input without forms, and recreating links with anchor tags using JavaScript.
