A website should welcome every visitor. Yet too many digital experiences unintentionally create barriers. Those barriers can’t simply be fixed with a plugin. For someone with low vision, a poorly chosen color palette can make text completely unreadable. Imagine looking at the screen but not being able to make out what you are looking at.

Navigation menus are key to the core functionality of almost all modern websites. Usually expandable from a button in the top left or right corner of the page, these menus can house direct links to the homepage, options for account management and customer service, shopping category links on e-commerce sites, and other essential features.

Core WCAG practices—headings and landmarks, descriptive links, alt text, captions, transcripts, labeled forms, and clean HTML—enhance the usabilit...| UsableNet Blog
Fall is almost upon us.

Fall is most definitely my favorite season. For many, fall also marks the beginning of a season of increased technology use. So much of what I and many of us traditionally do and enjoy during the last three months of the year is steadily becoming more and more reliant on the digital world.| UsableNet Blog

Most online forms make the application process more complicated for students who are blind. This one made it easier, and that is worth celebrating. I am Michael Taylor, a blind screen reader user.
