We shouldn’t just assume that everyone understands, interprets, and navigates the web the same way we do. We recently wrote an article a short while ago about the top 10 tips for website accessibility<\/a>, especially for people designing websites. Today, I want to show you some images from the UK Home Office<\/a>. They’re a bit old but still really useful.

Here are a few things to avoid, and you can check out the images below for examples. If you want to skim through quickly, check out the original images<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”12184″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]First off, don’t use too many bright, contrasting colors. There are things like color brightness that can trigger certain behavior, so just dull it down a little bit. I’m not saying go for complete grayscale, but just dull it down a little bit and don’t make it too bright. Also, keep your words simple. Fancy language can be confusing. I’ve seen websites with big, complicated words that just make things harder. I have seen some website hero banners where they’re being very artistic with their wording and I often say, just say it in a really simple way. Keep it short, concise, and to the point.<\/p>\n

Also, don’t just dump a lot of text in one place. Break it up with paragraphs, spaces, and pictures. This makes it easier to read and understand. And when you’re using buttons, make sure they tell you what they do. Sometimes, buttons look like they do something, but they don’t. That’s confusing! And don’t use labels like ‘see more’ if it’s not clear what you’re seeing more of. Make it simple and clear.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”1%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Screen Readers for Blindness or Visually Impaired:” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%2336434c|line_height:17.6px” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Have you ever thought about people using screen readers?

Make sure your images have good descriptions. Don’t just slap on a generic filename like “imageXYZ123.” Give it a descriptive title. If it’s a picture of a cat looking at a blue butterfly, say so.<\/p>\n

We all want our websites to stand out, but think about usability too. Keep things in a logical order for those using tabs or screen readers. It’s confusing when things jump around randomly. Semantic tags help with this\u2014use headers, subheaders, and text in the right order.<\/p>\n

One big tip: test your website live. Hit the tab button and see where it goes. Does it navigate through the menu correctly? Can users access dropdowns easily? Does tabbing make sense, or does it feel like chaos?<\/p>\n

And please, avoid embedding text into images. Screen readers can’t read that, and without an alt description, users won’t know what it says. It’s a common mistake, but an important one to avoid.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I’ve noticed some websites with text embedded into images, especially on one-page sites.

Avoid centering everything.<\/p>\n

Now, here’s where we’re going to contradict a bit. While web accessibility recommends underlining links, if you think your audience might have dyslexia, avoid italics or underlining as it can cause confusion.<\/p>\n

Using audio or videos to explain things is a great idea, especially for those with low vision or blindness. There are plugins available to zoom in and adjust contrast. Here’s a great tip: let users change the contrast on the screen.

Avoid using small radio buttons or checkboxes, unless they’re made significantly larger.<\/p>\n

It’s a huge mistake to only provide a telephone number for contact. Offer additional means of communication, like WhatsApp or a contact form.

Honestly, I probably didn’t until now. Let’s change that.<\/p>\n

First off, avoid putting timers on websites. It’s a pet peeve of mine. You visit a site, find a product, and suddenly there’s a countdown saying you have five minutes to complete your purchase. I get it, maybe it’s for caching or urgency, but it’s frustrating.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”12203″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]Countdowns for events are okay, though. If there’s a countdown to a sale or an event, that’s fine. But don’t make someone feel rushed to fill out a form. Consider the anxiety-inducing effect of error messages. Can we soften those a bit? Even when someone completes a form or makes a purchase, let’s give them a warm, appreciative message.<\/p>\n

Speaking of purchases, should we display prices on websites? I say yes, but not necessarily exact prices. Give a ballpark figure, a starting point. It helps ease anxiety when people know what to expect.<\/p>\n

If you’re using a multi-step form, let users review their progress before submitting. It’s frustrating to get to the end and realize you made a mistake back on step two. Let them go back, review, and edit before submitting.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”1%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”Conclusion:” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%2336434c|line_height:17.6px” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30px”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default”]That was a lot to take in, and you might not agree with everything. I’ve shared some slides from the UK Home Office, but it’s worth exploring what’s happening in your own country. Talk to other web designers, browse forums, and gather insights.<\/p>\n
