Website Accessibility

Accessibility is the key to maximising the number of users who can effectively use your website.

Design factors:-

Use of appropriate foreground / background colour combinations

Reducing dependence on specific screen size, allowing the user to decide the size of the screen and its position

Removing dependence on specific text size, allowing the website to operate with the text size the user wants

Balanced use of graphics with meaningful alternate names

Placement of menus and text such that "screen readers" operate correctly

Where applicable allowing the user to set defaults to ease their use (eg colour selections, metric versus imperial units etc)
