In terms of usability certain measures have been taken to make sure any user can use the website, instructions are given throughout the site to make sure the user knows what to do as this is a different concept there has been no presumptions that the user knows what to do.
The navigation has been made very simple and clear to see / navigate. Bold and italics were appropriate to make this stand out to the user so they can tell it is being emphasised. Also the text has been kept minimum however still engaging to the point.
Colours have been used that are user friendly and also reverse text has been used so where a white background has been used black text has been added and the other way round allowing users to be able to read the text amongst the background. As shown below a case where it has been used and is an ongoing technique throughout the site.
In terms of accessibility an onsite – map has been implemented allowing user with disabilities such as Parkinson’s or arthritis. To navigate through the site quickly without having to scroll or click on multiple pages just one click then they can decide from there. Therefore making it easier to use the site for users with disabilities and in general making it easier for any user to use.
Every page on the web-site has been kept to one page therefore eliminating scrolling. As users with visual impairments and disabilities they often scan by using the navigation this will make it easy for them to use and by having headings in different sizes and font weights this allows the visually impaired or disabled user to really interact with the site and not taking much more time than the average user.
Accessibility within Code
The ALT attribute has been used within images so that when a user hovers over them they can see what the image is. This effectively helps users if the image is not clear to them. Also helps user with visual impairments so it is easy for them to depict the image.
All CSS (page styling) has been quoted so that essentially if the project was handed over then any other user would be able to edit and understand the CSS and HTML mark-up. This also then makes the code structured and meaningful.
Formatting code then allows the code to be read much easier if all the code is aligned and tabbed to the correct position. Again useful so that other viewers can read the code without hazard and it’s a good practice so that the code looks neat and is readable.
