Making your website accessible to those who are registered blind or who are visually impaired opens up your product or service to a whole new customer base. Here are some tips on how to optimise your website so it is suitable for all.
Test colours to make sure that you have the proper contrast to ensure readability. Try using a colour contrast checker to check compliance. If you have graphs on your website, add textures or patterns to help people differentiate data points.
Allow for manual font size adjustments by including magnifying software on your site. Users can then adjust the text size to suit them. We suggest using sliders or drop-down options to increase the size of the text.
Use headers to organise the content of your pages. Headers tend to be larger font and in bold meaning, they will stand out and be easier to navigate for all users.
