💡 What is Accessibility (and why should you care)?

Website accessibility means making your site usable for everyone—including people with disabilities. That might mean someone using a screen reader, navigating by keyboard, or viewing your content with visual impairments. It’s not just about ticking legal boxes (though yes, it’s important for that too)—it’s about being inclusive and ensuring your message, services, or products are available to as wide an audience as possible.

If your website isn’t accessible, you’re unintentionally turning people away. And let’s be real—if someone wants to read, browse, or buy from your website, don’t make it harder for them than it needs to be.

✅ Quick tips to make your website more accessible:

• Add alt text to all images – This helps screen reader users understand visual content.

• Use proper heading levels – <h1>, <h2>, etc., in the right order, so users can navigate easily.

• Avoid tiny fonts and low-contrast colours – Stylish isn’t helpful if no one can read it.

• Make everything keyboard navigable – Not everyone uses a mouse.

• Use plain, clear language – No need to flex your inner Shakespeare.
