How to comply with the digital accessibility law in Italy?

在网站/应用程序中实现可访问性意味着创建遵循WCAG标准的设计.

  • Select technologies that support accessibility. Now, there are myriad platforms that have built-in accessibility features, for example, Adobe Commerce, Drupal, WordPress, etc. Such technologies have semantic code, responsive themes, navigation controls, and many other key features.
  • Avoid overdoing it, especially with colors. 需要足够的颜色对比,为有视觉障碍的用户提供可读的视图.
  • 网站必须有流畅和逻辑的键盘导航,以允许有移动问题的用户访问.
  • 图像需要所有文本和准确的描述,以便屏幕阅读器能够正确地解释它们.
  • 内容结构应该组织良好,包括标题层次结构. It is important from a navigation point-of-view. 添加目录也是创建清晰语义结构的正确方法.
  • Make sure to provide accessible PDFs and other documents.
  • 一旦设计就绪,彻底的测试(自动的和手动的)是必不可少的. 测试确保可访问性实现已经正确完成,并且可访问性问题的范围从零到最小.
