When you’re designing a page, it’s essential to think about who your audience is—and that your audience may not have the same abilities as you! Making your documents accessible is not just about adding Alt tags to pictures; it’s about thinking through all the ways you can make your design work for as many people as possible. Join me as I explain the choices you can/should consider in an accessible visual presentation using text, such as font, color, contrast, size, column width, spacing, kerning, and more.
