Hey everyone,
I’m looking into ways to improve accessibility on our website and I’d love some advice. What are best practices for making a site more accessible, and are there any specific tools or techniques anyone recommends? Thanks in advance for your insights!
I recently revamped a site and found that using ARIA roles and semantic HTML really helped improve accessibility. I always make sure images have alt texts and that navigation menus are clear even for screen readers. Sometimes, simple color contrast checks can catch a lot of issues that users might face. Also, testing tools like the WAVE extension can quickly show you gaps in your design. What works best is working with real users to get honest feedback, then refining your approach based on what they tell you. Every bit of information helps you build a more user-friendly site.
hey, i’ve been tinkering with some accessibility tweaks too. i found that the axe extension is a lifesaver for spotting issues, and tweaking keyboard nav made a noticeable difference. i sometimes neglect thorough alt text checks though, so your thread got me rethinking on that. have u tried any testing with real users? sometimes the feedback really opens your eyes.
Really interesting take on accessibility improvements here! I’ve been running a few niche sites and I’ve noticed that making my content accessible doesn’t just boost user experience but actually helps with conversion rates too. I tweaked my site to improve keyboard navigation and clean up alt texts which not only made it friendlier for screen readers but seemed to improve the overall trust signals to visitors. It feels like accessibility and conversion go hand in hand. Has anyone seen a direct revenue lift after implementing these changes? Would love to hear your success stories or struggles!
