FAQs
What is accessibility in development?
Accessibility in web development refers to designing and building digital products and websites that everyone can use, including those with disabilities.
Individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments often rely on assistive technologies like keyboard navigation, voice input, or screen readers. Integrating accessibility into your web development process ensures compliance with standards like WCAG and helps users navigate, perceive, and interact with your content effectively.
Why is accessibility important in web development?
Prioritising accessibility in web development is essential for ensuring that digital content and functionality are useable by everyone. Without accessible design and development, users who rely on assistive technologies will be excluded from accessing or interacting with key information and elements on your site.
Further benefits of including accessibility in development are:
Better experience for everyone, regardless of ability
Increased reach by making your content and products accessible to a wider audience
Improved SEO and performance, as accessible sites are easier to navigate and index
Compliance with legal requirements such as the Equality Act 2010 and WCAG
Demonstrate social responsibility and commitment to inclusion
Future-proofing ensures your digital products remain usable and compliant even as standards evolve
What are the key elements of accessibility in web design?
Creating an accessible website goes beyond ticking technical boxes; it’s about considering a wide range of needs, devices, and assistive technologies from the very beginning of the design process.
A well-designed and accessible site improves usability and functionality for everyone and helps ensure compliance with recognised standards.
Key components of accessible web design include:
Keyboard accessibility. All website functionality must be usable without a mouse
Descriptive alt-text. Images and media must have meaningful alt-text or transcripts
Sufficient colour contrast. All text must be easily readable against its background
Responsive design. Layouts must be adaptable to different screen sizes and devices
Semantic HTML. Use proper HTML elements to structure content clearly for assistive technology
Clear navigation. Menus, buttons, and form fields should be intuitive and consistent
