GAAD is our kind of celebration – because accessibility isn’t extra, it’s essential.

Want to make your content more accessible? Start with alt text. Without it, images are invisible to blind and low vision users. With it, everyone gets to be part of the story. 🖼️🔤

Kennt ihr das Projekt https://atlasdigitalebarrierefreiheit.de/ ?Websites wird es hier negativ ausgelegt, wenn sie keine Vorlesefunktion bieten oder keine Möglichkeit zur Anpassung der Schriftgröße haben. Ich verzichte darauf. Mir ist es wichtiger, dass die Website technisch gut ist, damit jeder das Werkzeug seiner Wahl nutzen kann.

Wir wollen erreichen, dass alle Menschen in Deutschland einen digitalen Zugang zu kommunalen Dienstleistungen haben können. Niemand soll durch digitale Barrieren ausgegrenzt werden. Deswegen überprüfen wir die Internetseiten aller Kommunen in Deutschland auf ihre Barrierefreiheit.

30 days of accessibility, May 2024

One email a day, 20 minutes of actionable changes to improve the accessibility of your website, app or social media.

I've been working on and off on a blog post on alt text for ages, and I've never actually posted it because I figured it's the same advice people have probably heard a million times.

But, even in 2023 I keep seeing the same mistakes being made, so I figured it can't do any harm to hit publish!

So, here is my take on alt text if it's useful: https://www.craigabbott.co.uk/blog/how-to-write-good-alt-text-for-screen-readers/

How to write good alt text for screen readers

What is alt text? Why it matters. And, how to avoid common mistakes.

I took a tour #backstage and was pleased to learn that the #RSC is keen on #accessibility in #theatre, and offer #AudioDescription and other #AccessibilityOptions.

It's Global #AccessibilityAwareness Day #GAAD2023!

Many digital products aren't fully accessible for people with disabilities, preventing them from taking part in modern society.

Participation is a #HumanRight.

So let’s improve accessibility for all!
