Web accessibility mistakes: Are you already committing any of these?


Businesses around the globe need to stay abreast with the latest standards.
The reason?
That’s important for a business to gain valuable market share and eliminate the risk of costly litigation, loss of brand reputation and other such mishaps. Web accessibility is one such standard. Though the developers understand the importance of accessible websites and go above and beyond to develop a perfect one they tend to make certain mistakes during the process. Here’s a list of the most common web accessibility mistakes every business should avoid

Content is not scannable:

Content is the soul of any website. So, the manner in which content is structured on any website is a significant part of web accessibility. Even if the website is coded with the perfect kind of code, it is useless if its content is not scannable. That’s because it would prove difficult for some special needs of the web users. So, readable website content is a must for web accessibility.

Tiny clickable area:

As a matter of fact, our hand movement with the mouse isn’t very precise. Therefore, we need a large clickable area that makes it easier to move the mouse cursor over the link. Developers offer neglect this fact while working on web accessibility. The best practice to provide a large clickable area is to make the whole link bigger.

Modifying the tabbing order:

The developers often use the “tab index” attribute and change the on-page tabbing order. As a matter of fact, the keyboard only users and screen readers are likely to tab through links and form items in the default order. So, changing that order only makes navigation complex.

Tables that lack markup:

There are instances where tables lack in the proper markup. In other words, instances where a simple data table is displayed in a way that requires a complex data table, yet the required markup is not included. This creates a lot of accessibility issues. Give viewers an enjoyable experience and you will soon have lower shopping cart abandonment rates. Work with our web development Breckenridge, CO now and start reaping greater benefits soon!!

URL Capitalization & SEO: Does It Really Matter?

Image
In SEO, there are many long-running debates. That’s why the term “it depends” gets thrown around so often in our industry when answering questions. One such topic of debate: does URL capitalization really matter for SEO? Read on as we try to clear up some of the confusion. John Mueller Says URL Case Doesn’t Matter While I think this is an oversimplification of matters, let’s take into consideration what Jennifer Slegg says: “So Google doesn’t consider letter case in itself as an SEO issue, but you should keep it consistent across individual URLs, because Google considers URLs to be case-sensitive. This means, if you have the same page accessible and indexable (without canonicals) as example.com/PAGE.html and example.com/page.html, Google could crawl both those URLs and the one you want to be ranked may not be the one Google chooses. You could also end up splitting ranking signals between the two pages. That being said, many feel that URLs that utilize upper case...
