Make your website usable for everyone and improve your SEO and conversions while you're at it.

✅ 1. Add Descriptive Alt Text for All Images

Why: Alt text helps visually impaired users understand images via screen readers and improves SEO.

How:

• For every non-decorative image on your website you should provide an explanation of the image.
• Add a short, clear description of what’s in the image (don’t start with “Image of…”)
• Example: Instead of “logo,” write: “GreenLeaf Cafe logo in script text” - Make sure you use accessible descriptions, this means not describing something as ‘green’.

✅ 2. Ensure Keyboard Navigation Works Smoothly

Why: Some users navigate using only a keyboard (e.g., tab/shift + tab/enter keys).

How:

• Test your site by tabbing through every interactive element.
• Make sure you can reach links, buttons, and forms in a logical order.
• Ensure that hover-only features are also accessible via keyboard.

✅ 3. Use High-Contrast, Readable Text

Why: Low-contrast text is difficult for users with visual impairments or dyslexia.

How:

• Use a contrast checker like WebAIM Contrast Checker
