Why Accessibility Matters
In today's digital age, website accessibility is not just a legal requirement but also a moral obligation. Making your website accessible to people with disabilities not only expands your audience but also enhances the overall user experience. At FYKEL, we specialize in creating websites that adhere to accessibility standards, ensuring equal access for all users.
Key Steps to Improve Accessibility
Here are essential strategies to make your website more accessible:
Use Semantic HTML Markup
Proper semantic markup helps screen readers interpret your website content more effectively. Use headings ( to ), paragraphs, lists, and other elements according to their intended purpose.
Add Alternative Text to Images
The alt attribute provides descriptions of images for users who cannot see them. Screen readers use this text to convey the content of the image to visually impaired users.
- Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background
- Provide captions or transcripts for video and audio content
- Enable keyboard navigation throughout your site
- Avoid automatic media playback
Ensure Accessible Forms
All form fields should have associated labels () so users can easily understand what information is required. Provide clear error messages to guide users when they make mistakes.
Test for Accessibility
Use tools like WAVE or Lighthouse to identify and fix accessibility issues. Regular testing helps maintain a high level of accessibility on your website.
