People who are color blind face problems in using websites sometimes. Therefore, making sure that only such colors are used can be easily detected by a color-blind audience.

Black text on a white background is a great choice. Avoid usage of garish colors or yellow, green and blue together.

Furthermore, users with mobility problems find it difficult to click small links for gathering information. Making clickable range wider aids people with disabilities making their user experiences better.

Alt tags:

When you run the mouse over an image, the small text that appears on it is known as alt text. It helps visually impaired people to know about images by reading text with a screen reader. It helps to describe the image accurately to a disabled audience.

Subtitles and Transcripts:

Some content on the website also consists of pictures and videos. This content does not get conveyed to people with visual and hearing impairment. Thus, the usage of subtitles is the ultimate solution. Also, transcription of video can be made available.

Periods in Abbreviations :

While using a screen reader, abbreviations are not spoken as we see them. So, it does not make any sense for disabled people. Writing abbreviations by giving space in letters will make screen readers speak letters individually. This will help people using the tool understand the text better.

These tools and tips mentioned above can make your website perfect for people of the disabled community.
