How can I test my website for accessibility?

There are a few different ways to test your website for accessibility. One way is to use the WAVE tool from WebAIM. You can also use the Chrome Developer Tools, which are built into the Google Chrome browser. To use the Chrome Developer Tools, open up your website in Google Chrome and then press Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows or Cmd+Option+I on Mac. This will open up the Developer Tools window.

The Accessibility tab of the Developer Tools window has several different options for checking your website’s accessibility.

• The first option, “Elements that need attention”, checks for common problems with accessibility such as missing alternative text or incorrect color contrast ratios.

• The second option, “Accessibility audits”, checks your website for more specific accessibility problems such as missing headings or labels.

• The third option, “Inspector”, allows you to inspect the accessibility properties of individual elements on your page. This can be useful for identifying and fixing problems with specific elements on your page.

• The fourth option, “Screen reader simulation”, allows you to simulate how a screen reader would read your website. This is useful for identifying and fixing problems that only affect screen reader users.

You can also use the Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (WAVE) from WebAIM to test your website for accessibility. WAVE is a browser extension that can be used with Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. To use WAVE, open up your website and then click on the WAVE icon in your browser’s toolbar. WAVE will scan your website and report any accessibility problems that it finds. It will also show you how to fix these problems. WAVE is a very comprehensive tool, so it can be a bit overwhelming at first.

How Do the ADA's Rules Affect Websites?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities. It requires that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as everyone else. This includes access to public places, including websites.

So, how do the ADA's rules affect websites? The ADA applies to all "places of public accommodation." This includes private businesses and state and local government agencies. Websites are considered a place of public accommodation if they're open to the general public. If your website is open to the general public, it must be accessible to people with disabilities. This means that it must meet certain accessibility requirements. These requirements are outlined in the ADA's Title III regulation.
