Dekratomshop strives to make its website http://www.dekratomshop.nl accessible to the widest possible target group.
Why accessible?
By making this website accessible, dekratomshop tries to contribute to an inclusive digital world in which everyone can participate. This is essential as it not only improves the user experience for people with visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments, but also meets legal requirements.
Some requirements for an accessible website
Alt text for images
Alt text describes the content of an image, helping visually impaired users understand what’s in the image. Images without alt text are not useful for people using screen readers.
Accessible and usable forms
Poorly designed and difficult to use forms make it difficult for people with motor or cognitive disabilities to enter data or understand what data to enter where. It is essential that forms are easy to use with a keyboard and are clearly labelled. Mandatory fields must be clearly marked as mandatory and clear and legible error messages must appear if a field is entered incorrectly.
Navigation
Navigation labels must be clearly marked and easy to find. Good navigation also means that the structure of the website must be logical, intuitive and easily understandable.
Readability
A website must be easy to read. This means, among other things, a good contrast between the color of the text and the color of the background of the page. Readability also means that the fonts used must be easy to read (this is called an easily accessible font). This also means that typography has to be good. Good typography means, among other things:
– The font must be large enough to be readable by everyone;
– There must be enough line height between the lines so that the text is easy to read;
– There must be enough space between each letter;
Keyboard accessibility and focus visible
Many people with motor disabilities use a keyboard instead of a mouse. Websites should be fully accessible using just a keyboard, including all interactive elements such as buttons and links. On click an interactive element should show a focus around it making it clear it’s a clickable element.
