What are the features of web accessibility testing?
Hey Toby,
I have read this blog, and I would like to answer this question.
The features of web accessibility testing are checking if the website works well with screen readers, supports keyboard navigation, and follows standards like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) in the context below.
- Contrasting Color Combinations: Ensure a clear contrast between text and background colors for elements like links, icons, and buttons on your website.
- Plain English Writing: Optimal readability is achieved using straightforward English, considering a typical reading age of 9 in the UK. Avoiding jargon and complex terminology makes content accessible to a broader audience.
- Videos with Closed Captions: Include closed captions to provide a written representation of spoken words and additional relevant audio content. Closed captions benefit both disabled and non-disabled users.
- Keyboard-Only Navigation: Implement keyboard-only navigation to accommodate users relying on assistive technologies, like screen readers. This ensures accessibility for individuals with cognitive, sensory, or motor impairments.
These features contribute to an accessible web environment by addressing readability, multimedia inclusivity, and navigation for diverse user needs.
