Simple Tips to Improve your Web Accessibility


Web accessibility is the idea of making websites easily accessed by all types of people including those with certain disabilities, different languages, or lack of access to certain technology. The notion is derived from the fact that all people should be given equal opportunity to access websites regardless of their limitations. It is important for you to consider that a certain percentage of your site’s visitors will be in this category. Moreover, if your website is easily accessible to all people, this will increase the frequency people will view and use your website. When websites are properly designed, developed and edited, your web accessibility will increase because all people will be able to use, function, and navigate through your site with ease. To state the obvious, people will not visit a site that they find difficult to utilize. Therefore, increasing your web accessibility is a precursor to increasing your site’s traffic. Below is a list of various ways to increase your web accessibility, through simple modifications to your website. In my opinion, no matter what stage you are in the website process, every step of the way, you should consider making your website more user-friendly.
