If you\u2019ve decided to improve your website\u2019s accessibility, or want to become a more accessibility-minded web designer, there are a lot of concepts you need to familiarize yourself with. To help make that easier, this overview will provide a brief summary of numerous concepts, a few of the top accessibility considerations related to each one, and relevant links to accessibility content here on InMotion Hosting and from accessibility focused organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">One notable organization that helps to standardize accessible web design practices across the internet is the <strong>World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)<\/strong> and their <strong>Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-warning\">Please keep in mind that this article is meant to serve as a general accessibility overview, not an in-depth guide to specific practices. It\u2019s the author\u2019s hope that this overview will save you a few hours when you are just beginning to learn about accessibility, giving you a general understanding of the big picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#bearings\">Get Your Bearings<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#fundamentals\">Just What is Meant by Accessibility<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#standards\">Familiarize Yourself on Accessibility Standards<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#overview\">Accessibility Overview of Topics<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#visual\">Accessible Design for Visual Impairments<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#hearing\">Accessible Design for Hearing Impairments<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#interaction\">Mobility and Keyboard Interaction<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#plan\">Planning How to Improve Your Site<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#goal\">Determine Your Organization\u2019s Goal<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#process\">An Ongoing Process<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Your Bearings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You know you need to design for accessibility, but make sure that you\u2019re headed in the right direction before you dive in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just What is Meant by Accessibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a relatively short amount of time, the internet has gone from a research collaboration tool for teams of elite scientists to something millions of people rely on every day. Just as physical structures and technological affordances in our living space help people get out and live life regardless of any disabilities, web accessibility focuses on designing websites that everyone can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different disabilities require different accessibility affordances; there is no one single thing that we can do to a web page to make it 100% accessible. Web designers choose color combinations that make sure color blind individuals can still process information, add specialized HTML attributes so that blind and visually impaired visitors using screen readers can navigate complex web pages, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Familiarize Yourself with Accessibility Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The World <strong>Wide Web Consortium (W3C)<\/strong> is, broadly speaking, the organization that helps keep the internet standardized. Early in its history, the W3C\u2019s leaders realized that accessibility would be an ongoing concern as web technology developed and changed. This led to the creation of the <strong>Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)<\/strong> in the mid-90s. This advocacy and study group has helped develop tools and guidelines for web accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, many governments have either adopted <strong>WAI\u2019s<\/strong> standards as a requirement or used their standards as a basis. The most important of these accessibility standards are the <strong>Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, or WCAG<\/strong>. The <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/WAI\/standards-guidelines\/wcag\/\" target=\"_blank\">WCAG outlines broad accessibility principles, supported by pass-fail success criteria<\/a> and numerous guides on how to design for accessibility. It\u2019s regularly updated every few years, with a new major version set to be released in the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessibility Overview of Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading through a comprehensive web accessibility standard like the WCAG is overwhelming when you\u2019re just trying to acquaint yourself with some basic accessibility issues. Here, we\u2019re going to briefly touch on a few accessible design topics to give you an idea of the scope of accessible web design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessible Design for Visual Impairments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The internet started with a focus on hypertext, but now uses images, video, and interactivity extensively. Lots of accessible design focuses on keeping the internet user friendly for people with some form of visual impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Screen readers are the most well known example of this. By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/accessibility\/alt-text\/\">labeling images with alt text<\/a> and adding specialized HTML attributes to your site code, people can navigate web pages entirely through audio feedback. Designing for visual impairment also includes designing for colorblind individuals; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/accessibility\/accessible-color-palettes\/\">choosing accessible color palettes<\/a> helps keep your web page easy to read regardless of color difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessible Design for Hearing Impairments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Online audio-video content has gone from a slow, low-resolution rarity to one of the primary communication tools on the internet. Accessible design in this case means everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/live-broadcasting\/create-subtitle-files\/\">creating closed caption files<\/a> on all of your instructional videos, to making sure that there are text transcriptions or written equivalents to audio instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-info\">A core accessibility principle is that there should be multiple ways to access crucial information. Make sure that important information can be accessed in a variety of ways so that no one is left out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mobility and Keyboard Interaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The desktop web treats a mouse as the default form of interaction, while mobile browsing relies on a touch screen interface that often demands fine motor control. Designing a website that one can interact with entirely through a keyboard \u2014 and avoiding design decisions that make this difficult \u2014 helps open a website up to people with physical disabilities. It is also important for people using screen readers, especially on desktop, as someone unable to see a screen display won\u2019t be able to use a mouse to interact with the page. This has also grown difficult over the years, as modern highly interactive web pages often have menus buried in interactive elements that aren\u2019t directly accessible via HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning How to Improve Your Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making your site accessible involves more than meeting a given set of standards. In any given site redesign, know what you are trying to achieve and plan to continuously work towards making your site more accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Determine Your Organization\u2019s Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or your organization want to make your website more accessible, you must first have a clear idea of what you\u2019re trying to achieve. Are you planning to completely overhaul your site in preparation for a compliance audit followed by a final certification \u2014 or are you simply trying to add some improvements to your site as you go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an individual or small business that simply wants to add accessibility functionality to an existing website, consider an all-in-one solution. For WordPress sites, popular plugins such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/accessibility\/one-click-accessibility\/\">One Click Accessibility<\/a> add a variety of user-facing accessibility tools with excellent pre-configured defaults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Ongoing Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re just trying to meet a particular legal requirement or pass an audit, it\u2019s important that you realize <em>accessibility is an ongoing process<\/em>. You want to stay accessibility-minded for the life of your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standards like the WCAG are great for helping you carry out a major overhaul, but a focus on accessibility should be integrated into your approach to web design. Accessibility must become part of your content and customer interaction workflow as long as you have a web presence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"jumbotron\"><p style=\"margin-top:0;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/custom\/security.svg\" align=\"right\" alt=\"Secure VPS Hosting\" height=\"80\">Enjoy high-performance, lightning-fast servers with increased security and maximum up-time with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/vps-hosting\">Secure VPS Hosting<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/standard\/check-blue.svg\" alt=\"check mark\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" \/>Linux VPS    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/standard\/check-blue.svg\" alt=\"check mark\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" \/>cPanel or Control Web Panel    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/standard\/check-blue.svg\" alt=\"check mark\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" \/>Scalable    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/design.inmotionhosting.com\/assets\/icons\/standard\/check-blue.svg\" alt=\"check mark\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" \/>Website Migration Assistance<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"margin:10px 0;\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/vps-hosting\/linux-vps\">Linux VPS Hosting<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article serves as an introduction to some fundamental accessibility concepts.
