Inclusive Web Design: Making Your Site Accessible to All

At Dolphinweb.com.au, we believe that inclusive web design is not just about compliance — it’s about creating equal digital experiences for everyone. From people with visual impairments to those using screen readers or alternative input devices, accessibility ensures your website works for all users. In 2025, inclusivity is a must-have for every Australian business.

1. Use Accessible Colour Contrast

Strong colour contrast improves readability for users with visual impairments and ensures your text is clear on all devices.

2. Provide Alternative Text for Images

Adding descriptive alt text to images ensures screen readers can communicate visuals effectively.

3. Design Keyboard-Friendly Navigation

Some users cannot use a mouse. Ensuring your website is navigable via keyboard enhances accessibility significantly.

4. Use Readable Typography

Inclusive web design relies on clear, legible fonts and appropriate text sizes for readability across devices.

5. Add Captions and Transcripts to Media

Videos and audio content should always include captions or transcripts to make content accessible to all audiences.

6. Structure Content with Headings

Logical heading structures (H1, H2, H3) improve readability and help screen readers interpret content.

7. Comply with Accessibility Standards

Following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) ensures compliance and best practice in inclusive design.
