- technical code behind the scenes,
- the actual content of the questions,
- and the visual design.

Content:
It is possible to use an accessible widget, but ask a question in a way that does not make sense. An example would be, "Rate your opinion on a scale of 1 to 5". The problem with this is that there are no instructions indicating which is best. It is 1 best or is 5 best.
All other WCAG rules apply, like ensuring links have descriptive names.

Visual:
Most questionnaires provide the option of choosing theme colors. Choose a theme that has easy to read text with a high contrast ratio.
