A screen reader says: "storefront dot jpg, image. Link. Edit text." Visitors are left guessing.
After
<img src="storefront.jpg"
alt="Maple Street Bakery storefront">
<a href="/menu">
<i class="icon-menu" aria-hidden="true"></i>
Menu
</a>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input id="email" type="email">
Now it says: "Maple Street Bakery storefront, image. Menu, link. Email, edit text."
Who this helps
Up to 1 in 4 adults in the US has a disability. Fixing these issues makes your site work for more of your customers.
Blind visitors
Screen readers read your page out loud. They need image descriptions, labels, and headings to make sense of it.
Deaf and hard of hearing visitors
Videos need captions so the words come through without sound.
Low vision visitors
Strong contrast and zoom that works let people read your text comfortably.
Keyboard users
Some people cannot use a mouse. Every link, button, and form needs to work with the Tab and Enter keys.
