Web Accessibility




From the lesson web accessibility, I learned about what is accessibility, importance of web accessibility and how to implement it properly for digital contents. I identified that accessibility is very useful for all users not only for people with disabilities. Accessibility makes websites easier to use for all visitors. Some of the key features are text alternatives, screen readers, captions in videos, keyboard navigation, Zooming text, contrast colors and well-defined links. In addition to those, accessible headings, clear structure and simple language also help all users to find information easily.

GOV.UK is a good example of an accessible website that I found. It has strong accessibility specifications. It is designed to be used easily for everyone.

Additionally, I recognized it includes links which navigate several sections are well-defined as everyone can follow it easily.

According to these studies, I prepared an accessible document which is given below link
