2  Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web.  A lot of people will access your site with devices you won’t have designed for – you need to ensure that they will be able to access your content too

3  One of the most common devices that you will not have thought of is a screen reader, which helps blind people or anyone that has trouble seeing or reading.  You need to provide alternatives to some of your content to allow for these devices. For example, all images must have an ALT tag which describes what is in the picture

4 Image source

5  Here’s a couple of other things to keep your eye on  Font colour contrasts with background colour  Video & sound files have a transcript and subtitles.  Keep your navigation consistent  Font can be resized

6  If you are working on a government website, it is a legal requirement to make the site accessible to all.  Eg. Radio National  http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/b ooksandartsdaily/vale-maurice-sendak/4005108 http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/b ooksandartsdaily/vale-maurice-sendak/4005108
