Introduction

Many websites today are built on platforms like WordPress, which make it easy to create a site quickly and have it look good. However, there are many ways that these platforms can be modified in order to comply with ADA standards. In this post, we'll walk through how to make sure your website is accessible for people with disabilities.

Websites that contain content with too many images of text may be difficult to read by people with visual impairments.

It is important to remember that text is just as much a part of the web as images and videos. For example, a website may have an image of text on it that reads "Welcome to Our Website." If this image contains too many words and doesn't break up the text into smaller chunks, it may be difficult for someone with visual impairments to read. This can be fixed by adding extra line breaks throughout the paragraph so that each word is separated from the others by an empty space or two.

The same principle applies to other types of accessibility issues such as color visibility: if you have a lot of reds and greens on your website but don't provide alternative ways for people with red-green color blindness or other vision problems to read what's there, then it will be impossible for them (and probably most humans) not only see but also comprehend what's written on your page!

Sites that use video or audio files need to caption their videos as well as provide a written transcript.

Captioning is important for people with hearing impairments. Transcribing content from audio or video files is also important for people who are deaf and hard of hearing, who may want to search for specific information on the site.

Sites that have links need to have descriptive link text so visitors with visual impairments understand what will happen when they click on the link.

If you have links on your website, make sure that the text of each link is descriptive enough to make sense without being in context. This is an accessibility best practice because it helps people with visual impairments understand what will happen when they click on the link.

Example:

• If a page has a link labeled "Contact Us," this would be considered non-descriptive because visitors with visual impairments would not know if clicking on this link leads them to an email form or some other type of submission form.

Instead, consider using link text like “Send us an email” or “Get in touch with us."

In addition, people with low eyesight rely heavily on magnifying tools. If a site is not designed in such a way that these tools can be used without losing information on the screen, then it needs to be modified.

People with low eyesight also rely on magnifying tools in order to access the content of a website. A site that does not offer magnification options will be inaccessible for people who use these tools to increase the size of text and images, as well as to change the contrast of an image.

There are many ways that websites violate accessibility standards, and they should fix them if they want to reach the largest possible audience.

There are many ways that websites violate accessibility standards, and they should fix them if they want to reach the largest possible audience.

Here are just a few:

1. Websites must be accessible to everyone. This includes people with disabilities, who may not be able to use certain features or navigate the site in the same way as someone without a disability. For example, someone with low vision may have difficulty reading small text on your website's pages; someone who uses a screen reader software program may have trouble finding specific information on your site because of poor organization or unclear labeling; and so on.
2. The site should be easy for visitors with disabilities to navigate around and find information they're looking for—this includes features like search functions which return results quickly (without requiring extensive page refreshes) as well as clear links between one page and another so that users can move through the site without getting lost along the way. In addition it's important that these features don't cause additional problems such as crashing browsers or draining batteries too quickly!

Conclusion

As a website creator, it’s understandable that you’d want to make your site as visually appealing as possible. However, accessibility is something that should always be taken into account when creating or updating any type of digital content. Not only is it the right thing to do morally speaking, but also legally speaking—because if your site doesn’t comply with ADA guidelines and no one else can access it either (or even worse: they think it doesn’t exist because they didn't know about its existence), then this could lead to serious consequences later on down the road.
