When we discuss accessibility, we cannot skip some extremely important factors, such as site structure, loading speed, page elements, etc. In this tutorial I will cover the most important development factors that will influence the accessibility of your website.

So ...

Let’s see what are the most important development considerations and tools that can influence the user experience and the availability of your website ...

1. Domain name

The good news: a good domain name can help you a lot in your marketing and your SEO efforts. The bad news: finding a really good domain can be a challenging task. Why? Because, according to Hosting Facts …

There are currently over 350 million registered domain names.

The main point is to perfectly align your domain name with your target audience. Let me help you with a few tips:

• try to find a domain name that contains highly relevant keywords to your niche
  

• make it short – two words max – and memorable

• make sure there is only one way to pronounce and spell it

• avoid uncommon top-level domains; my recommendation: get a .com domain; other domains like .cc or .info often can trigger spam filters

• if you are targeting a specific country use a domain from the corresponding national zone (.co.uk, .de, etc)

• for multi-language sites it’s better to use separate domains for each language

• try to avoid using hyphens in your domain name (hyphens often correlate with spammy websites); if you can’t avoid it, use only one hyphen max

• make sure that all your sub-domains (and other variations) correctly point at the main site; sub-domains are often seen by search engines as separate domains, so usually it’s better to use subfolders

Once you have found a good domain name, you’ll have to find a reliable hosting company. Here at WA you don't need to worry about these factors, but whenever you want to find a good external hosting provider, you'll have to take the following factors into consideration:

• access bandwidth
