How to Make Web Accessibility Possible.

How do we make web accessibility possible? Well, it's not overly complicated, but it is not as overt as some might like it to be. One way to allow for web accessibility is to remember that color schemes are not everything. Color schemes are important to enhancing how a reader ponders content, however, it is not more important than the other factors in this multi-variable equation. Some people may not see very well, and if you focus solely on how your content looks, then you're inadvertantly segregating against those with a weak optical sense. While on the topic of visual aids, remember that it's okay to bolden your text and increase the font size. However, you don't want to do this at the expense of content. Only use this technique with the major information that you need your readers to know. If you have content that is audio driven, then you need to make sure that you allow for rewind and audio control. Some people have sensitive ears and are unable to keep up with the pace of a narrator, so it's important that we keep these people in mind. Also, you should ensure that your video has efficient closed captioning. Poor subtitles will lead to a misinformed and disadvantaged consumer. YouTube is a prime example of poor closed captioning. The subtitles on YouTube are estimations of what's actually being said, they are not factual. It is your responsibility that the closed captions on your videos are accurate. You should take into account that not everyone speaks the same language, so you should provide an alternative narrator that tailors to most of the major languages of the world. A lot of people want their website to be out of the box, so they try to put their links in different spots to make it appear unique. This is a mistake. When people enter your website it is important that they are confident in its user-friendly abilities. Place links in predictable spots so people aren't ripping their hair out searching for information. Also, do not change the design of the website without either consulting or informing the consumer of these changes. They are entitled to know what changes are being made since they are the ones that are using your website. There are so many other things that we could take into account and I will provide a link to these variables below. I would share this information here, but due to time constraints, I am forced to just share the link. As you can see however, the solution to web accessibility is fairly simple. Though it is still difficult because of what seems to be a never ending list of variables to consider, it is simple.
