    1. Here, you can enter the alternative text for an image. This text acts as a replacement for the image if it fails to load.

      Alt tags are required for accessible web design. Alt tags are used to describe visuals for visually impaired visitors. Because of alt text, those who are blind or visually challenged can still access and understand the information provided by an image. As a result, integrating this will be incredibly beneficial to a wide range of people.

    2. As annoying as it can be to have music or videos start when a page loads, this is an even bigger issue in terms of accessibility.

      This is critical to comprehend since user interface components and navigation must be functional and operable. People with motor or vision impairments may struggle with this since it causes them to lose focus and their ability to use the website. Having a website with automated media can prevent many users from using it.

    3. Another key task to make your site accessible is structuring your content by using headers carefully.

      This is important because text-to-speech software or screen readers are frequently used by blind people to access web material. This means that in order to make your website more accessible, one should take note of this. Alongside this note, information should be arranged in such a way that it makes sense when read sequentially. For screen reader users, it is important that the layout is organized because it can be quite annoying if it is placed in a random order.

    4. As such, you need to make sure the colors you select on your site contrast well to ensure that everyone can distinguish between various elements on the page.

      Unless there is a distinct contrast between the background of your homepage and the foreground content, those with restricted vision may struggle to detect the difference! This is important to note because colour blind people will struggle to navigate any website where colour is used to identify important elements. This can make a huge difference for those who are colourblind because it means that they can freely navigate the site without any worry. 

    5. for a website to be accessible, it must work without the use of a mouse.

      This is especially important for people with motor limitations who may be unable to use standard user interfaces. Because individuals may utilise a mouth stick, head wand, and other devices, having a keyboard friendly site can help assist their motor limitations. This can ultimately be lifesaving for some people.
