In this week's Factual Friday, we're taking a deep dive into the intricacies of ADA compliance and overlay tools. While quick fixes may seem appealing, let's explore some practical tips for achieving genuine accessibility on your website.

Unveiling the Nuances of Overlay Tools

Overlay tools, those seemingly convenient widgets, promise to bolster accessibility by adding an extra layer to source code. However, they often act as mere "band-aids," leaving underlying issues unaddressed.

Tips for Enhanced ADA Compliance – Your Path to Inclusive Design

• Semantic HTML Matters: Lay a robust foundation by ensuring your HTML is semantically structured, providing a clear and meaningful outline of your content.
  
  
• Keyboard Navigation Testing: Put your website's accessibility to the test by navigating with only a keyboard. Seamless interaction without a mouse is a key indicator of good accessibility.
  
  
• Descriptive Alt Text: Images tell a story, but not everyone can see them. Include descriptive alt text for images to make your content accessible to users with visual impairments.
  
  
• Contrast is Key: Improve readability for all users by maintaining high contrast between text and background colors. A clear distinction enhances the user experience.
  
  
• Caption Multimedia: Ensure inclusivity by adding captions to videos and transcripts to audio content. This benefits users with hearing impairments.
