Accessibility

Outside of optimizing the experience for typical users, set aside time (a few hours will do wonders) to work with a developer to improve how your website, web page, and app can be viewed by:

• screenreader users
• keyboard-only users
• users who have difficulty processing text (e.g. users with a cognitive disability)

Checklist:

• Is text easily re-sized?
• Have you included keyboard shortcuts?
• Are form fields clearly labled?
• Is intuitive alt-text present on all images and media files?

Tips:

• Group related sub-points and sub-navigation links into lists
• Front-load links into sentences
• Offer a text alternative that provides the same information for non-text assets
• Include a synchronized alternative for multimedia (never auto-play multimedia it will run into conflict with the screen reader being able to read the page)
• Avoid grey typeface
