The last thing any business wants is a lawsuit due to an inaccessible website. However, many common website mistakes can leave you open to just that. Here are five of the most common issues:
- Missing Alt Text: Without alt text, screen readers can’t describe images to visually impaired users.
- Non-Keyboard Navigation: Websites must be usable with only a keyboard; otherwise, they’re inaccessible to those who can’t use a mouse.
- Poor Contrast: Text should be easy to read against its background.
- No Captions on Videos: Captions help hearing-impaired users understand your content.
- Unclear Links: Links should describe what users can expect when they click.
Make Your Website Easy to Navigate
Over 71% of users with disabilities will leave a website if they find it hard to navigate, according to Deque Systems. These accessibility errors not only alienate users but can lead to costly legal issues.
