8 Simple and Useful Tips
TIP 1: Make Use of “alt” Tags
Using an “alt” tags help visually impaired users to understand images in a much better way. Always add an alternate text to your images so that screen readers will read the text aloud aiding disabled users.
TIP 2: Subtitles and Transcripts Helps
If your website have many videos add subtitles to the videos. You can also provide a transcript of the video below it.
Tip 3: Add Periods “.� in Abbreviations
A screen reader will not recognize abbreviations written without the periods in between each letter. This will lead to the abbreviation being read as a word and will convey wrong information to the user.
TIP 4: Explain The Links Embed links in your text instead of “click here” describe the link. For example, “For more information, visit the Convergence Services Website” is a better option than “For more information, click here.”
TIP 5: Use Color Wisely Use the colors wisely so that all users can view the site without any strain. Do not place very bright colors too close to each other. Do not place blue and green beside each other (for colorblind users). Keep all text readable. Black text on a white background is considered the most readable combination.
Tip 6: Keep Sufficient Clickable Area Clicking small items on the screen is tedious. For users with mobility issues, keep the clickable area large.
Tip 7: Simplicity Is The Key Break paragraphs into smaller parts. Keep the language simple and straight forward. Preferably, use active voice.
Tip 8: Accessibility Guide is of Great Help Include a section on your website that outlines the ways your site is accessible. Or give out some tips that users can implement on their own computer system.
