Both a Toggle Switch and a Single checkbox can be used if the user needs to make an on/off selection. So what’s the difference? 🔁 Use a Toggle Switch if the selection takes effect immediately ✅ Use a Single Checkbox if the selection takes effect upon clicking a submit button

🔁 If possible, replace Dropdown menus with Radio Buttons. Radio buttons make it easier to compare all options, because they are all permanently visible 👀. Users needs to think less to get to their goal 🎯.

Not everyone has a perfect sight or hearing 👀👂. Make your website available to them by providing text alternatives for non-text content. Add a text label next to icons 📕, provide transcripts for video and audio 📽️, and fill in the HTML alt attribute for an image 🖼️.

❗Did you know assistive technology can read text aloud, show it visually or even convert it to braille? This makes it even more important to provide text alternatives for audio 👂 and video 📹 content. Let EVERYONE enjoy your content. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Creating visual relationships through color and grouping is essential in design 🎨. However, remember to provide text alternatives for screenreader users 🔤. For example, add "optional" to required fields instead of only changing it's border color.

People with low vision often have issues reading text that doesn't contrast with it's background 👓. Use contrast ratio calculators like buff.ly/4e5604u or webaim.org/resources/cont… to make sure sufficient color contrast is used in your design 🎨 .

🔍 Have you ever tested your design while resizing the text up to 400%? Not everyone uses you site with the tiny text you designed. People with low vision often resize text, or change text spacing ↔️. No information should be lost when the your design is used in this way.

🖼️ The easiest way to make images of text accessible is to avoid them altogether. If that’s not an option, make the image resizable and provide a text alternative.

🔦 If any flashing content is used in your design, make sure you provide a warning to users to avoid seizures. Also try to provide options to switch off animations and avoid any flashing content.

Try using your website with just a keyboard ⌨️. You’ll quickly learn why it’s important to make the keyboard focus visible to users and that providing a logical order for tabbing ➡️ through the elements is a must.

📃 Structure a page with clear headings and subheadings. The purpose of a section might be obvious to you, but keep in mind that people might have low vision, be colourblind, or use your website through a screenreader.
