Apart from accessibility overlay tools that you can add to your browser or computer, making your website more accessible is possible through various add-ons and plugins. If you’re building your website using a site builder, there are many different add-ons to choose from that can give you the results you need.
Regardless of what you use, the bottom
line is that all users should navigate your site with ease.
•
Accessibility-ready themes – You can choose from pre-built themes with
pre-set layouts and colors that will make your website more inclusive. They’re
often well-organized with no-frills sans-serif fonts and well-contrasting
colors, monochromatic to prevent too much visual stimuli overload. It’s
one of the simplest methods to design an ADA-friendly website.
•
Accessibility modules - Like accessibility overlay
tools, these modules can indicate what needs work when added to the website
building process. The modules can highlight locations to improve accessibility,
such as alt-text additions. And the modules can even add those automatically
for you by detecting what the photo is supposed to be.
•
Screen readers - Screen readers can be added to the website during the
building process to help you determine which site areas need better
communication for the reader to function correctly.
•
Accessibility evaluation tools - This is another one similar to an
accessibility overlay tool. Still, this time, it’s often a web-based analyzer
that looks through your entire site at once and sends back a report which rates
how accessible the site is. There’s often an outline on one
side of the report that will allow you to immediately jump to problem areas and
pages and see which areas are well-rated for good practices.
Accessibility Overlay Tools feels that
the burden of accessibility lies heavily on the companies and site owners. It’s
their task to create a website that can be read and understood by all potential
users. And with Accessibility Overlay Tools helping, it’ll be easy to make a site
that puts people with disability at the forefront.
