How to make content accessible to users with physical disabilities
Target skills
Here are some practical examples to implement to make web content more inclusive.
Alt tags with images
Users can understand what is in an image if it contains ALT text that describes the images. This text is read aloud by special software.
Use a large font size Some web design software also allows users to enlarge the font or text themselves.
Colors
Make sure that the colours are displayed correctly by using the Automatic setting for font colours. Add shapes or symbols, if necessary, to aid user understanding.
Subtitles
Include subtitles to videos for better understanding.
Descriptive URLs
Add descriptive URLs to make searches easier.
Mouse Usage
Ensure that the entire site is suitable for a mouse alternative.
TAB key
Ensure that all elements of the site are accessible via the "TAB" key.
