Accessibility, what is it? and why should it matter to you?
How does Firm Media tackle the ever-growing issue of accessibility?
Hover state: Button color changes from a yellow outline to a full yellow box. Text becomes underlined and shown at 50% opacity. Having more than one hover indicator makes the button more accessible.
Color Contrast: Using the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) guidelines as a reference, the color contrast of white text on a blue background passes the test. Colors with a lot of contrast are easier to read.
Company-wide, we do our best to meet the W3C guidelines, which sets the standard for web accessibility. Just because a web site is 99% accessible, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily aesthetically pleasing. Like with everything, a balance must be found in creating websites able to be used by all but that also look and function beautifully. We have implemented accessibility disclaimers on all of our sites and installed accessibility plugins when needed, which makes navigating a website easier for those with any visual or other types of impairments. What we do for accessibility may be more than most, but it is just the start for an ongoing and growing topic.
