Accessibility practices go beyond people with disabilities. It can affect us all to a certain degree. Everyone should be able to read our content.
Implementing best practices does not have to be complicated. For design, keep in mind visual legibility with proper color contrast, a readable base font size, good spacing, and make sure links and buttons are clearly called out. For code, use semantic code for things like headers and paragraphs, and make sure there is alt text on images.
Semantic HTML code allows users to better adjust their reading preferences and use accessibility tools. And image alt tags allow for those that are visually impaired to understand what is going on in an image. For best results, custom coding a website or email theme and setting up a CMS around your code is the best way to ensure that both of these practices are met.
Blocks Edit’s editable tags work around your custom design and code so you can use proper design practices and semantic code for your components.
And while your team is using the visual editor to build and edit, your code remains intact, following semantic practices. And users are shown a notice when mousing over images if there isn't any alt text set. You can also keep a checklist of reminders for your team.
Don’t overlook accessibility!
