3) Ensure your website Visitors can Work Without the Mouse.
You might find this a little difficult to understand, but it is as simple as I presented it. Your website users should be able to work seamlessly on your website without their mouse. They should be able to use the keyboard and its shorthand keys alone. Many assistive technologies for people with disabilities rely on keyboard-only navigation.
Most keyboards rely on the tab key for navigation, it seamlessly moves between links, forms and buttons. So your website navigation should also support the use of the tab key. A simple way you can test for keyboard navigation on your website is
- Check if your website accepts the tab key for navigation,
- the enter key or spacebar to select an element.
- Check if your arrow keys can also move around
4) Engage Headers
Good use of headers will help you structure your content and make it easier to read. As such, the interpretation of your content will not be lost at any stage. Achieving this is simple and not technical.
Use the appropriate heading level when creating your content. For your titles, use heading level 1, this should be the only H1 in your content. It should be followed by H2, which each H2 can be broken down into H3 and so on.
The order of their occurrence matters, you should not jump to an H3 or H4 heading level after H1.
