Making your website easy for everyone to use is not just a one-time effort—it's an ongoing process. So, how can you make sure that your website is accessible to all users? Follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, organized under these 4️⃣ principles: 1️⃣ Perceivable: Add text descriptions or audio to visuals, making content accessible for all visual abilities. 2️⃣ Operable: Simplify navigation to ensure ease of use, whether via keyboard, mouse, or assistive tech. 3️⃣ Understandable: Use clear, straightforward language and a logical layout for ease of understanding. 4️⃣ Robust: Design with clean HTML and compatibility for various technologies and screen readers. Keep this in mind ⬇️ It’s not enough for your website to be usable if it doesn’t meet these four criteria. Continuously refine and test your site, adapting to new standards and tech.

You have: → High-quality content → A professional look But low trust. Why? Your design might lack social proof. Add testimonials or trust badges. In web design, credibility is key to building trust.

This course is a deep-dive into a user-centric approach of designing websites, not to make them look pretty but to make them in accordance with user needs. I found it valuable and you will too https://lnkd.in/d4yAWDqj #userexperience #webdesign.

I just completed the “User Experience for Web Design” course by Chris Nodder. Found it super interesting, relevant and easy to understand - even as a complete web design beginner!  #userexperience #webdesign.

Instead of approaching your website thinking “how can we cram the content we need into this design” you want to build a design system that will grow and shrink with your content. Don’t let restrictive design parameters get in the way of telling your organization’s story and connecting with your users.

So a whilst back I posted about some colours, but you have slept since then… I asked a handful of people which text felt more legible between these 2 options. All of my results said the white text was more legible however according to the contrast check between these, the grey text is actually technically more legible. After reading a few articles online, various sources confirmed what I thought was correct… The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines might not always suggest an accurate result I think as a designer, you should use these guidelines to help guide you to a result, but also remember that design is supposed to satisfy what people see, not pass computer algorithm checks. There’s no need to throw out an entire brand ID just because the computer says no to certain colours, always use best judgement and then it’s a matter of presenting that judgment back to the client. More can be read about this here, where colour blindness was also checked. https://lnkd.in/e6VgJW2A

Accessibility in website design is essential for ensuring that all users can engage with your content. It's not just about compliance, but about creating an inclusive online experience. Start by evaluating your current website against WCAG guidelines. Implement features like text alternatives for images and ensure keyboard navigation is seamless. Regularly test your website with real users to identify areas for improvement. By prioritizing accessibility, you enhance user experience and broaden your audience reach, which ultimately drives conversions. I'd love to hear what steps you've taken for accessibility compliance in your projects! https://lnkd.in/exrJW7p5

Designing websites with accessibility in mind! Creating inclusive web experiences is crucial in today's digital landscape. By prioritizing accessibility, we ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can access and interact with our content seamlessly. Here are a few key considerations for designing accessible websites: 1️⃣ Use clear and descriptive headings to help users navigate the content easily. 2️⃣ Ensure proper color contrast for text and background to enhance readability. 3️⃣ Provide alternative text for images to assist users who rely on screen readers. 4️⃣ Implement keyboard navigation to accommodate users who cannot use a mouse. 5️⃣ Design forms and interactive elements with clear labels and instructions. By incorporating these principles into our design process, we can create websites that are inclusive and welcoming to all users. #Accessibility #WebDesign #Inclusion What other strategies have you found effective in designing accessible websites? #AccessibilityMatters
