Reflect on your developing understanding of web accessibility in a blog post on your portfolio site, covering the following questions: something you learned from experience videos, one identified technical feature, one identified conceptual feature, one feature you hadn’t considered before, what errors your portfolio site included (if any) and how you fixed them or are still figuring out how to fix them.
I learned that people can have a hard time clicking on small buttons. Particularly when making a website compatible with mobile, I need to make sure the clickable buttons are large. I also learned that colors with high contrast is important not only for people in general but also for when there’s weird lighting.
A color contrast checker in a web design tool that ensures text and background colors meet accessibility standards can be implemented through design software usage. Writing clear and concise headings to improve readability and navigation for all users have to be considered while creating the content itself. I had not considered ARIA landmarks as a part of web accessibility.
When I ran my website through the WAVE Web Accessibility Tool, it said there was a contrast error, but I really cannot find it. The “error” logo doesn’t even appear on my page. Other than that, there were no errors!
