What to Remember About Mobile Accessibility
Addressing accessibility may seem like it takes a number of steps; however, once you get over the initial learning curve, it shouldn't be that difficult and instead become part of your normal development process!
- Always be sure that, regardless of the input method, the user can get to all parts of the content that need to be interacted with.
- Ask yourself if the complex interactions really need to be that complicated
- Assure that all visual components including layout, text, graphics,tables, etc. still work appropriately at higher and lower scales of magnification
- Make sure the user is able to move through the application in the most effective way
- Be sure that your color palette always meets minimum standards
- Make sure all your components have appropriate labels and/or alt text
