Making a website accessible is not as difficult as most web designers make it seem. Many designers mistakenly think that creating an accessible website is a matter of writing a lot of metadata, designing tab data and a lot of tagging.
This does not have to be the case.
By following some basic design principles and simple techniques, a website can be made accessible to many different users without taking a lot of the designer’s time. An accessible website can serve the needs of a wide range of users regardless of their preferences, web clients or physical abilities.
When it comes to accessibility, you have to consider users who are visually impaired, hearing impaired, the physically impaired, alternative web client users and technologically limited users. To make your website accessible, separate content from presentation. People are visiting your website to look for content, whether they are accessing the site through a PC, mobile device or a screenreader.
The content layer
Content accessibility is the most important thing in web design. Content consists of everything that is put between the tags. These include text, images and videos. The layer is about content and not the presentation. Here are some guidelines to make your content more accessible:
1. Place the title of the page between tags.
2. The navigation of the site should be coded in an unordered list
