Insight into the POUR Accessibility Fundamentals
In today's digital world, ensuring that everyone can access, navigate, and understand online content is more important than ever. With an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide living with disabilities, the need for accessible design has never been greater. Our platform is committed to making the internet a more inclusive place, and we've developed a suite of Accessibility Tools to help achieve this goal.
One of the key principles of accessible design is cost-effectiveness. Investing in accessible design from the start is more advantageous than remediating a design later to address accessibility issues. Our Accessible Design Tool makes it easy to implement accessible design from the outset, ensuring that your content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust—the POUR approach defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Perceivable means making sure everyone can understand all elements of a design. To this end, our Accessible Design Tool lets you easily tag text boxes as title, heading, or paragraph, and makes it simple to tag table headers in just two steps. Tables should be tagged for screenreaders to provide context, and our tool allows you to set the reading order in designs to ensure accessibility for people using assistive technologies.
Visual hierarchy is crucial for creating understandable designs, and headings and subheadings help organize information into logical sections. Our Accessible Design Tool helps achieve distinct interactive elements and accurate labels, ensuring that all users can interact with your content effectively.
Color choice should never be the only method to communicate information, highlight an action, or draw attention to an element. Our platform's Accessibility Tools can grade color contrast according to WCAG guidelines, ensuring that your content is easily readable for all users. Sans-serif fonts are generally easier to read compared to serif fonts, and our tool lets you pick many accessible-friendly fonts in a few clicks.
To help you meet vital accessibility standards, our platform offers a free PDF accessibility checker. This tool ensures that your documents are compliant with WCAG guidelines, making them accessible to everyone.
In an ideal world, everyone would be able to access, navigate, and understand content online. Unfortunately, most digital designs are not accessible and exclude people with disabilities. However, with tools like our Accessible Design Tool, we can work towards a more inclusive internet.
Accessibility laws have started to gain traction, with 11,452 ADA Title III federal lawsuits filed in the US against websites that failed to provide accessible experiences in 2021. By investing in accessible design now, you can ensure that your content is compliant with these laws and avoid costly legal issues in the future.
In conclusion, our platform's Accessible Design Tool is a powerful resource for creating fully WCAG-compliant designs from start to finish. By making it easy to implement accessible design principles, we're helping to make the internet a more inclusive place for everyone. Join us in our mission to create a more accessible digital world.
