Designing Accessible Website Architecture For web developers & designers it's important to understand accessibility standards and how to comply. Not only does accessibility address concerns for users with disabilities & those who rely on assistive devices, but also maximizes the search engine optimization (SEO) potential of a website. Why build an accessible website? "According to Ontario’s accessibility laws, new and significantly refreshed websites must meet..." Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level A ( https://www.ontario.ca/page/how-make-websites-accessible "WCAG 2.0 is an internationally accepted standard for web accessibility developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international team of experts." ( https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/ ) What does that all mean? As the design and development of websites continually expands, it is Ontario's law to ensure that those with disabilities & assistive technologies are able to navigate, understand and contribute to websites. WCAG 2.0 Guidelines designers should be aware of: - presented info on top of a background contrasts sufficiently with the background - provide text alternatives/captions to audio/video/image files - audio foreground sounds are sufficiently louder than background sounds - making sure any text in images of text is at least 14pt & has good contrast - make slideshow & video controls available - design predictable/logical layouts for webpages & note that unusual user interface features or behaviors may confuse people Let's Connect!
