12px is too small. The default size for most browsers (ie 1rem) is 16px with small (ie 0.8rem) being 13px

You should always size your text using either rems or ems. That makes it much easier to scale your text with the size of the screen

Its called Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ility/ARIA

Its basically another property you can give an element that works with voice translation

If you use something like Twitter's bootstrap, it has all the required ARIA options built in
