An internet open to everyone
Web accessibility (known as a11y) means building platforms that people with disabilities (visual, hearing or motor) can also use easily. What’s more, European legislation is becoming increasingly strict on this.
How do we make a website accessible?
High contrast and readable fonts: Ensuring the right contrast ratio between text and background.
Keyboard navigation: Users must be able to move through menus and forms using only the Tab key.
ARIA labels and alt text: Proper descriptions of images and buttons for screen readers.
