π Did you know that 1 in 4 adults in the US have a disability? Let's talk about building accessible web apps! π
As developers, it's our moral and technical responsibility to create websites that EVERYONE can use, regardless of any disabilities or impairments. π©βπ»π¨βπ»
π― Here are some best practices to follow:
Use Semantic HTML - it helps screen readers understand and interpret your content. π
Provide Alternative Text for Images - this helps visually impaired users understand the image's purpose. πΌοΈ
Ensure Keyboard Accessibility - some users can't use a mouse, so make sure your website is navigable by keyboard alone. β¨οΈ
Use Color Contrast Appropriately - higher contrast improves readability and usability for visually impaired users. π¨
Provide Captions and Transcripts for Audio and Video Content - make your multimedia content accessible to deaf or hard of hearing users. π§
Test your website for accessibility - use online tools like the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool to identify potential issues. π
By following these practices, we can create a more inclusive and accessible web for all. ππ€
