Website Accessibility
Is your site accessible to users with disabilities?
According to the 2010 U.S. Census (PDF), 6.2% of the adult population have visual or hearing impairments directly affecting computer and internet use. Are you reaching them?
- Users with visual impairments may have trouble reading your page if there isn’t enough color contrast.
- Some users may rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, magnifiers, or Braille display - this requires a properly configured website
- Users who are deaf or hard of hearing may not be able to hear the audio in videos and rely on captions.
- Users who have difficulty with fine motor skills may rely on keyboard navigation.
