💡 ACCESSIBILITY 💡 Layout and design 🖋️ Accessibility can be enhanced through text and colour, but also simply through how you’ve laid everything out on the page. Here are some points to bear in mind: • Avoid underlining, except for links. • All text should be the same orientation on the page. • Space between columns of text should be large enough to be distinct. • Only use tables for data. Keep tables simple; avoid splitting or merging cells. • Avoid footnotes where possible; provide explanations inline instead. • Make sure link text clearly describes where the link goes. • Do not use aspects like colour or shape alone to show meaning.

“‘Incredibly efficient’ is the phrase that always comes to mind. [Sorted Communications] have completed numerous flawless projects for me and my organisation. The desire to articulate what could be perceived as bland raw content into genuinely interesting and informative thought-leadership content seems to come perfectly naturally to them. I am looking forward to working with Ali and her team as often as possible and can’t recommend their services highly enough.” – Darren McCowan, Marketing Manager, Answer-4u We loved working with Answer-4u to create a series of fully-researched ‘thought leader’ features, transforming raw content into accessible and engaging copy 👉 https://lnkd.in/epRthytg #casestudy #communications #marketing

💡 ACCESSIBILITY 💡 Colours 🎨 Do: ✅ Use high contrast colours next to each other - black and white is best. ✅ Exaggerate the lightness of light colours and darkness of dark colours when used next to each other. ✅ Describe any images which convey extra information (known as alt text). ✅ Use solid-colour backgrounds. Don’t: ❌ Use colours which are similar in lightness or darkness next to one another. ❌ Use similar colours together e.g. red and orange, or green and blue-green, as they will not be easy to distinguish. ❌ Use achromatic colours against colours of similar lightness or darkness e.g. dark grey against black. ❌ Use text on an image or patterned background, as the colour contrast will vary and the shapes of the letters will be harder to identify or find More tips in ‘How to make your comms more accessible’, available for free from our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/gZPd3fg5 #accessibility #comms
