  1. What are some common ways to achieve accessibility compliance? The increase in digital transformation activities has subsequently led to improving web accessibility. Important information pertaining to booking trips, hiring people, researching a subject or gaining knowledge can be obtained online. Disabled people should also be given the privilege to access online information using assistive technologies. Another important point is to make the website accessible. In this article, you will learn some common ways to achieve accessibility compliance. Canadian businesses must adhere to the Accessibility standards of Canada to carry out their businesses smoothly. The Accessibility act of Canada provides a structured pathway for businesses to conduct their activities in line with accessibility guidelines. Following are a few common ways to achieve accessibility compliance:

  2. 1. Easy navigation: If the website offers consistent and clear communication, visitors can easily navigate through the website’s various pages. For example, an accessible experience can be provided through a combination of orientation cues, breadcrumbs, a search bar and a menu bar. Ensure that all the web pages maintain consistency in navigation with consistent styling, naming and placement of navigation elements. 2. Resizable text feature should be enabled on web pages: Users can resize text by obtaining the necessary permission from most browsers, devices and web pages. This can, in turn, help visually impaired people. The website structure and design can also break by resizing text features, especially when the website does not support such features. In this scenario, the font sizes can be verified by increasing or reducing the browser’s zoom level to attain better website accessibility. 3. The value of simple website designs: A clean and simple website design helps the visitors to easily understand the content. Also, important page elements like calls to action can be clearly viewed. If the website designs are simple, then mobile browsing can be simplified, conversions can be improved and bounce rates can be reduced. The significance of website design is also covered in the accessibility standards of Canada. 4. Incorporate simple and clear writing: To avoid confusion among readers, it is always better to write simple and clear content for the website. Those who have issues with short-term memory will find it challenging to read long sentences. Screen reader users would not prefer to grab a dictionary to understand the content written on the website. Content guidelines and styles are a key part of the accessibility act of Canada. The following are a few points that need to be considered: •Simple sentences and words should be incorporated •Readers should be provided with a glossary in order to get a good grasp of difficult words •Videos, images, page titles, lists etc., that divide the text 5. Text transcripts and captions should be included: Auditory-impaired users should be differently presented with audio files like sounds accompanying videos. Sign-language interpretation, closed captions and transcripts can be used to easily understand the audio files. If the audio content has relevant transcripts, then it can be convenient to those who prefer to read the content rather than listen to it. Accessibility testing should be carried out strategically to ensure captions and text transcripts are included accordingly. 6. Tables should only be used for tabular data: Data can be effectively and systematically displayed in a table and hence can also prove to be useful to users using assistive technologies apart from the general users. Tabular data is the correct platform for displaying tables rather than lists or layouts.

  3. If layouts are used for displaying tables, then the content cannot be easily understood by screen reader users. Accessibility testing helps in formatting tables as per the specific requirements. Conclusion: If you are looking forward to implementing accessibility testing for your specific project, get connected with a premium software testing services company that will provide you with strategic testing solutions that align with your project specific requirements.
