Global Accessibility Awareness Day is today! It’s a great reminder to ask: is your online content truly inclusive? At IDEAS, we believe accessibility isn’t optional, but essential. 1 in 5 Australians have a disability. Globally, that's over 1 billion people who could be missing out on your content if it's not accessible. Our article ‘3 ways to make your online content more inclusive’ suggests the following: ✅ Use high-contrast, easy-to-read fonts. Low contrast is one of the biggest barriers online. If your text blends into the background, it becomes unreadable for many users. #WebAIM has a great contrast checker to help you get it right. ✅ Add image descriptions or alt-text. Screen readers can’t "see" images, you need to describe them. This helps people who are blind or have low vision and also improves your SEO! ✅ Include captions and audio descriptions in videos. Captions help deaf and hard-of-hearing users. Audio descriptions support people who are blind or have low vision. Everyone benefits from accessible videos — think noisy commutes or videos played without sound. Let’s make inclusion the default, not an afterthought.
