I added a couple of free, easy to use features to my website to improve accessibility:
- An automatic translation feature to the header. Just select a flag (e.g., Spanish, Ukrainian), and all text will instantly update to the new language.
- Accessibility controls. Click the little man icon floating in the lower righthand corner of your screen to open up controls changing point sizes, colors, and more.
Adding these things, which I learned about during my day job, are no-brainers, and I wish I did it sooner.
There are additional plugins out there to automatically generate image alt tags for the visually handicapped, but they cost moolah. I’ll keep looking!
