The business of making websites digitally accessible for everyone is not always straightforward, which is why 82% of sites failed accessibility audits in a recent research paper. It’s definitely not impossible though, but requires understanding and commitment from your designers. However, a growing number of website owners (who are looking for a ‘quick and easy fix’) who have discovered accessibility overlay widgets think that adding a single line of code is their tick in the ‘accessibility sorted’ box. Let me save you a lot of time and hassle - overlays are not THE solution. Please read this really helpful 5 minute article from accessibility expert Clive Loseby and you’ll understand why! 🤦♂️🙏💜
I wrote this article following my recent survey on accessibility overlays. I hope it is useful. If you would like a chat, please use the "Book an appointment " link above, many thanks. #Business #WebDesign #Diversity #Inclusion #Accessibility
