Accessibility is not only for large organisations. A few quick checks show whether your site works for everyone, including people who use a keyboard, a screen reader or a small screen.
- Zoom the page to 200%. Can you still read and use everything, with no text cut off?
- Put your mouse away and use only the Tab key. Can you reach every link, button and form field, and see where you are?
- Check your main photos have a short text description (alt text) that says what the photo shows.
- Check text contrast. Light grey on white is hard to read for many people. Free tools such as the WebAIM contrast checker will tell you.
- Check every form field has a visible label, not just grey text that disappears when you type.
If something fails, note it down. Many fixes are small. This is a practical checklist, not a full audit or legal advice.
