Higher Ed Accessibility

Web accessibility is about removing the barriers that prevent people with disabilities and other impairments from using your website. 

 

It can take on many forms which include:

  • Supporting assistive technologies like screen readers and Braille displays

  • Making text and images scalable and easy to read

  • Ensuring navigation works without relying on a mouse or keyboard

Accessibility is more than functionality, it ensures everyone can access your content and navigate your site smoothly and without frustration.
