More than a billion people worldwide have disabilities. While web accessibility benefits everyone, it’s primarily designed with disabled individuals in focus. The goal is to ensure that anyone, regardless of their device, health, or abilities, can access website content without any barriers.

The article How to Overcome & Avoid the 7 Common Digital Accessibility Issues - The A11Y Collective provides practical advice on who to avoid 7 common digital accessibility issues: 

  • Insufficient colour contrast
  • Poor or missing alt text
  • Incorrect use of headings
  • Lack of keyboard accessibility
  • Inaccessible forms
  • Non-descriptive link text
  • Embedded inaccessible documents

Knowing about and avoiding these accessibility issues, will improve the accessibility of your website and remove barriers for everyone.

Everybody deserves access to your web content, and your website deserves to be appreciated by all. So take the necessary steps and create a spot on the Internet where every single person feels welcome and comfortable.
