Devcron Sites Are Now More Accessible

Sites Are Now More Accessible

We’re excited to announce that devcron has updated its most popular templates and features to comply with additional web accessibility standards. Implementing accessibility best practices improves sites’ overall usability for all users (and it’s also great for SEO). These are already updated in Devcron's templates and in the current features your existing sites have.

So what is accessibility, anyway?

According to W3.org, web accessibility means that websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them. More specifically, people can: perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web. Accessible websites usually have better search result ranking and therefore a more expansive audience reach.

What’s more accessible now

We’ve made quite a few accessibility updates that render our templates and sites more accessible for all users. Here’s a quick list of what’s been updated:

Improvements in contact forms:

• Improved contact form accessibility for screen readers

• Screen readers can now easily detect the date and time picker in contact forms

• Keyboard navigation now includes the option to check/uncheck checkboxes and radio buttons in contact forms

Improvements in site navigation:

• Improved keyboard navigation for easy keyboard based movement between site elements

• Improved site navigation for screen readers

Other miscellaneous improvements:

• Improved the Back to Top button functionality for screen readers on mobile

• Screen readers can now find and read social icons

• Now it’s possible to zoom in and out on a page

• Button icons are now hidden from screen readers for improved screen reader accessibility

• Now it’s possible for screen readers to do a search in stores and blogs

And we’ve got many other improvements coming up…
