Accessibility: The Fun Way to Avoid Legal Trouble
In the wild west of the interwebs, making your website a cozy hangout for all cowpokes is not just a kind deed – it’s the law, partner! That’s where the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) comes in, laying down the rules for website accessibility. And in 2024, Evolve Media is leading the posse in helping businesses rustle up an online presence that’s inclusive and legally compliant. Giddy up, and let’s dive into the essentials!
The ADA Compliance Hoedown
ADA compliance is all about following the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), a fancy way of saying “making your site a welcoming place for folks with disabilities.” From text readability to navigation ease, it’s about ensuring everyone can saddle up and enjoy the ride, no matter their abilities.
The Three Amigos of Accessibility
1. Text Accessibility: Ensuring your website’s text is as readable as a dime novel for users with visual impairments. Think text enlargement options, high-contrast ratios, and language as clear as a mountain stream.
2. Keyboard Navigation Compatibility: For users with mobility impairments, keyboard navigation is the trusty steed they ride. Your site should be as navigable with a keyboard as a seasoned cowpoke on their favorite horse.
3. Audio and Visual Content Adjustments: Providing alternatives for audio and visual content is like having a trusty translator on the trail. Text transcripts for audio, captions for videos, and descriptive alt texts for images ensure everyone can enjoy the sights and sounds.
The SEO Lasso
To wrangle both accessibility and search engines, incorporating cluster keywords is the way to go. Here are three we lasso:
– ADA compliance checklist: A comprehensive guide to ensuring your website meets all the accessibility standards, like a well-stocked saddlebag.
– Web accessibility solutions: Highlighting the tools and services that’ll make your website as accessible as a well-marked trail.
