If you go back through our resources, you’ll find one where Andrea covered website accessibility from a font perspective, but let’s talk about 3 more quick tips for how you can help ensure all of your visitors, including people with disabilities, have a good user experience when visiting your website.
1. Make sure you provide alt tags for all of your images.
Alt text provides access to the content of images for people who can’t see them.
2. Use your headings properly.
Your heading structure should create an outline of your page. Do not skip heading levels, meaning only H2 tags should follow your H1 tag (which should be your page title) and H3 tags should come after H2s, and so on. Properly using headings helps non-visual users and search engines understand how the page is organized.
3. Use descriptive link text.
Instead of using something generic like “Click here” for your link text, make it more descriptive of the content or function of the link.
Implementing these three easy recommendations can help you take a step in the right direction for making your site accessible to all users.
