Important Things to Know

Visually impaired users utilize screen readers to read the content of a website to them. Because of this, it is important to do the following:

  • Enter alt text for images. This should be a description of what the image is so that users can imagine what the image looks like based purely on your description.
  • Enter abbreviations and acronyms correctly; otherwise, abbreviations are pronounced like nonsensical words and the meaning of your acronym may be unclear.
