Creating images that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is not just a legal requirement; it’s a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. By ensuring your website’s images are ADA-compliant, you’re opening your digital doors to a wider audience, including those with visual impairments. Here are easy steps to make your images accessible: 

  1. Use Descriptive Alt Text: Provide a concise description of the image’s content and function using alt attributes. This allows screen readers to convey the essence of the image to users who cannot see it. 
  1. Choose Proper Contrast: Ensure there is sufficient contrast between the image and its background to help users with limited vision. 
  1. Avoid Color-Only Information: Do not use color as the sole means of conveying information, as this can be inaccessible to color-blind users. 
  1. Include Captions and Transcripts: For images that contain important information, like infographics, provide captions or a transcript that describes the visual content. 
  1. Ensure Keyboard Navigation: Make sure that all interactive images are navigable using a keyboard for users who cannot use a mouse. 
  1. Test with Screen Readers: Regularly test your images with screen reader software to ensure they are being interpreted correctly. 

By following these steps, you can create a more inclusive web experience and improve your site’s SEO, as search engines favor websites that cater to accessibility standards.
