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.
According to 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.
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
