How to make your website Accessible

1) Add the alt text to your images.

The alt text is a common feature when creating images in WordPress. It is what users see when your images don’t upload. Screen readers also rely on this essential feature to understand your pictures.

As such, it is an essential field you should not miss out. In some packages, they are called alt tags or alt descriptions. Search engines really on them to understand your image, so they are essential for search engine optimization.

2) Be creative with your Colors.

    Colour plays a large role in helping people distinguish between different features on your website. We all don’t see colours the same way. Colour blindness is not just a black and white issue. It has to do with the colour spectrum. To help you background and images, ensure that your colour contrasts very well.

    Your text is another vital part. It should not be blurred when viewed with your background. Don't use a light-coloured text on a light background, rather use a dark-coloured text on a light background. The internet has a lot of tools you can take advantage of when it comes to checking colour combination, the contrast checker can be a handful and of good assistance when it comes to this.
